The Broncos play in the high altitude city of Denver and have enjoyed two Super Bowls victories while sending multiple players to the Hall of Fame. Among those Hall of Famers is Broncos and football legend John Elway. Elway played his entire career in Denver and helped the team sell millions of Denver Broncos tickets and win back to back Super Bowls in 97’ and 98’. Elway also brought the Broncos to 10 playoff appearances in his 16 years as a Bronco. While still young, Elway led the Broncos to the 1987 Super Bowl in front of a sellout crowd in the AFC Championship game as he marched 98 yards down the field in the 4th quarter on a series of plays that is now famously called “The Drive.” The Post-Elway era for the Broncos has had both its ups and downs. They still continued to sell many Denver Broncos tickets equating to numerous sell outs, but have not been able to find their next franchise quarterback. Only a couple years after Elway’s retirement they started quarterback Jake Plummer who had the skill set and also helped the team to consecutive 10-6 seasons but was never able to get home field in the playoffs and sell more Denver Broncos tickets. The most controversial quarterback brought in after Elway was definitely Tim Tebow, Tebow had a great college career but was never considered an NFL quarterback, yet the Broncos drafted him in the first round in 2010. The move may have been more for publicity and a way to sell more Denver Broncos tickets than to win games. Either way, Tebow had a short career in Denver because of the team’s acquisition of Peyton Manning which led to trading away Tebow.
The high altitude of Denver led the team to originally name their home field Mile High Stadium, they have gone through many sponsors over the years whose name gets added on, yet the Mile High part always stays put. Currently the stadium is sponsored by Sports Authority and will be so through the 2036 season. The new Mile High Stadium was only built in 2001 and still has state of the art features that all purchasers of Denver Broncos tickets can enjoy. Mile High Stadium features a Jumbotron scoreboard and video screen the shows replays to the fans who also have the option to choose from numerous food vendors while at the game. Sports Authority Field at Mile High is a remake of the original Mile High Stadium, the first stadium was a multi-purpose field used for both the sale of Denver Broncos tickets and also for Colorado Rockies baseball games. The final years for the original Mile High Stadium came to a close in 2002 when the stadium was brought down in pieces in a three month period and is now used as parking space for the new Mile High Stadium. Many more Denver Broncos tickets will be sold throughout the years because of how devout the Denver fans are about football based on the history of the team and their passion and hope to again return atop the football universe. Purchasing Denver Broncos tickets will not only wield the memory of a football game into your mind, but also let you experience being a mile above sea level and the opportunity to learn all about the Denver Broncos history.

1-9-13: Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos look to make a serious push at the title. Bouncing back from a serious neck injury and putting together an MVP type of season is only goal number one for Peyton and the Broncos. Getting over the Patriots bugaboo is also a goal they look to achieve but they will have to face the physical Ravens first. Don’t expect the Broncos to overlook the smarts of the Raven defense for one second. This is one of the marquee matchups of the year on Saturday so expect the competition to fit the bill. The Broncos impressively won 13 games and have the best record in the AFC. On Saturday, their record and their will has to be put to the test.
