No matter how many National Football League seasons come and go, one continues to be amazed, and humbled by the fantastic support the Denver Broncos receive.
When the Broncos host the Dallas Cowboys in the home preseason opener this Saturday night at INVESCO Field the stands will be full as usual.
And when regular season play begins against the San Diego Chargers on September 14 it will mark the 39th consecutive sellout season for the Broncos at home.
That is the longest streak in the American Football Conference and the second longest in the NFL. Only Washington has a longer streak at home. For those who might wonder about where the Packers fit in, they have a longer streak at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field but for many years players three games each season at Milwaukee. They often did not sell out the games in Milwaukee, hence their streak is way shorter than one might imagine.
While the sellout streak in itself is amazing, one has to also consider that this support comes in one of the largest stadiums in the league.
Further, individual game ticket sales have been near an all-time high water mark this year, leaving almost no tickets left to be purchased far in advance of the regular season.
This applies to the more exclusive and expensive club seats as well, which have proven to be very popular again this year.
The support is unquestioned by anyone, but an organization always has to recognize and be humbled by its support.
Of course, we are very lucky to have some excellent young players who have captivated many of our fans, and when everyone gets a chance to see a lot of the newcomers on the field, they are going to become well known names to our fans as well.
We happen to have a couple of real good preseason opponents coming up, the always popular Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.
The Broncos now have one of the younger teams in the NFL and one that we think will prove to be very exciting.
The goal is always to win, have great support, and be worthy of that support. I believe the Broncos are on the way to fulfilling that goal in 2008.

We just need our fans to be LOUD against the Fargers!!
Godspeed Broncos!
I lived in Texas last year and was at the game against the Texans. I live in North Carolina now and bought my tickets to the game in Charlotte the day individual seats went on sale. I’m still trying to convince my wife that a weekend road trip to Atlanta is important…
It’s not just in Denver that the Broncos are loved.
Going out to Denver for the Dolphin game. And will be at the Meadowlands when the team comes out her to Jersey to play the Jets and Farve. Be wearing my new Dumervil jersey too!!!
I have been lucky enough to have season tickets for as long as I can remember I have had the privilege to grow up in Mile High stadium. There Is no Better fans in sports yea that right sports, Denver Broncos Fans are not just Colorado’s team it’s a region’s passion with Wyoming Utah New Mexico and Kansas ….
WE ARE THE BEST FANS IN SPORTS .
remembering a certain game last year, i believe 41-3 was the final score, there was a mass exodus of fans leaving, and booing their own broncos
i obviously dont expect your personal take on the matter, but in a certain way, do you think the team deserved to hear it from the fans, or are you more focused on the future of the fans’ enjoyment?
Hopefully their will be 75,000 fans walking out of Invesco with smiles after watching the Broncos win 41-3. And maybe the only booing we hear is when we put in our second team in the fourth quarter to keep from “running up” the score.
