Ok, as you all know I am a diehard Broncos fan. I have watched about every game for the past 22 years (since I was 3 and knew what football was)... I have lived and died with this team over that time. Since my family has moved around quite a bit I have been able to see them play in Atlanta and Cincy, had seats to see them play a thanksgiving day game in Dallas but family emergency kept me from going. The point I am getting at here is that I have not ever been to Mile High Stadium, never seen my team play a home game live.... until now. My dad just called and informed me that we will be on the 35 yard line when the Raiders come to town in December.

I will take pictures and blog about my trip.... Just wanted to share the news, and see if any of you who have been have any tips advice, or even cool things to do on the trip to Denver.

Great news B.S., The new stadium is not as loud as the old mile high,but it's getting better! On your trip into town try the 7 pound burrito at Jack and Grill on 26th and Federal, just a couple of blocks north from the stadium. I tried it ,but could not finish it. Jack and Grill was on the Travel channel's Man V.S. Food with Adam Richman...

Great to hear it. There is NOTHING like seeing the Broncos live at Mile High. Life and Sports is right, It's not as loud as the old Mile High but not much is. Sounds like you have pretty good seats. One nice part about the new stadium is that there aren't many bad seats. I've sat near the top, in the corners, and right on the 50 a few rows up and all of them were great. One piece of advice I have is about getting in and out. I usually "pre game" at a bar/restaurant and take their shuttle over. But, we skip the shuttle after the game and walk back to LoDo. Everytime I've done it, I either beat the same shuttle back or get there at the same time and the walk is actually kind of a good time. The first time we did it the people with me were a little concerened about safety because it was a night game but I've never had a problem with that. Also, the 7 lb burrito is a beast.

That's sick. I, myself have never been to see a Broncos game at home, just at the Browns stadium twice. I have been to Invesco for 2 tours though. Beautiful stadium, I'm sure even more amazing with orange and blue fans in the seats. Hope you have fun, and chances are, you'll be there to see them win.

Congrats BS, Broncos games are great. My biggest advice is... if your a drinker, go way early and walk around the tailgating zone and find "The Jester" it's a dude in a blue and orange jester suit that does blue and orange jellow shots before the game. Try to park far away so you have the chance to buy some funny t-shirts from vendors that make there own shirts some are funny as hell. My last advice, be careful. Raiders fans are insane Assbags, I think there have been 2 stabbings at Broncos v. Raiders games so keep your head up. Have a great time man, happy for you.

I will be at the Ravens/Broncos game in Denver. It's gonna be a hostile crowd but I can't wait. Good to hear your're goin to Invesco at MH, Schwartzy--it's like Mecca for a Broncos fan.
