First game at Invesco!

Bronco Billy — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 02:31:18 -0000

After years of travelling the road to see our beloved Broncos, my wife and I finally made it to Invesco. Couldn't ask for a better game - except that I'm more of a defensive guy and cringe at the thought of giving up 38 points, but that's another story.

In my two home games, I've seen Elway's 300th TD pass, TD's 2000th yard in a season, Cutler throw for 350 and 4 TDs, Marshall grab 18 receptions, and Shanahan showing the NFL who has "los cajones más grandes de el NFL".

Trying to remain unbiased, Invesco is one of the greatest venues in the NFL. The only stadiums that I've been to that compare is Lambeau Field in terms of fans. Although Arizona and Cincinnati have very nice stadiums. I've heard Heinz Field is a great venue as well, but haven't been there personally yet.

Hats off to Jeremy Bates' play-calling (and to Shanny for handing over the reins to him). It's hard to argue with 40 pts / game! ... just my $0.02.
