9,000+ no-shows. Are you kidding? This team goes on a four-game (now five) winning streak, makes football fun in Denver for the first time in 7+ years, and we have almost 10,000 empty seats at the stadium. Not to mention, a pretty big contingent of Browns fans.
Look, I’m sunshine and rainbows about all of the on-field things right now and I don’t want to kill the vibe. Broncos football is back and it’s awesome. But this was a huge “wtf” for me. I remember the Elway-era Broncos (pre-SB), it was still very rare for Old Mile High to have any empty seats on game day - even for, say, the 8-8 1995 Broncos. 10K MIA is just hard to compute.
And idk that ticket prices were really the culprit, because secondary market tickets were available for $50 or less yesterday. It’s still expensive, but man. I thought we were going to have a raucous building and instead it was a lot of empties.
As a currently drunk person, I agree this is unacceptable. I now live in the Pacific Northwest, and the Mile High fan attendance is one of my hills I die on that proves the Broncos are one of the best fan bases. This is not going to be good for me.
ANYWHO, the Broncos are finally good and to be Thankful, I want to slow smooch Sean Payton’s buttonhole lips! LFG boys!
