In 2014 I started to get into NFL football, mostly because I joined a fantasy football league. It is a little fall/winter obsession of mine now.
In 2016, I bought one solo ticket to a Broncos because who wouldn’t want to see the Broncos play at home? And Denver is obsessed with football! But my family happened to be visiting that summer and they suggested doing a tour there, and I said yes absolutely that is something I wanted to see too. I’ve been a Broncos fan since about 2013 along with Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, but the Broncos had an edge over the other two…and that was before I moved here.
The tour was great. I never toured a stadium before…so take that ‘great’ with a grain of salt. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable not only with his facts and speech but answering all the questions. We had access to the executive suites, which were nice, I’d love to watch a game from there (I was only in a suite once to see the Mets play), the United Club area, where the big shots sit and provide feedback to the field (I was surprised this room was bare bones and they bring in all the equipment day of event), the media area, the visitor locker room, one of the keg rooms, the field tunnel and of course seeing the field (can’t go on it). The tour was a little over 90 minutes. I am so glad I went because I was able to see a lot more than I would have access to on a game day where all I’d see was the parking lot and my seat with the view of the field!
I ended up not using my solo ticket in 2016 because as fate would have it, I met Bucket Hat Rose the month before and we got tickets together, making my first NFL game even more special.
In September 2019, Mile High Stadium changed names to Empower Stadium and Bucket Hat Rose and I went back for our second Broncos game.
