Practice at INVESCO Live Blog

6:00 p.m. MDT: So here we are, back at INVESCO Field at Mile High. The players are in their uniforms — defense in blue and offense in white, except, of course, the quarterbacks, who are in orange — and three refs are on the field. It’s the second practice session of Day 7 of training camp, and we thought we’d try out our new live blog to keep you all up-to-date on the goings on at INVESCO.

6:01 p.m. MDT: Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer is running the team through some punting drills, with Brett Kern and Britton Colquitt splitting the punting duties and Eddie Royal and Alphonso Smith taking turns on the returns. It seems to be focused mainly on blocking for the punt.

6:02 p.m. MDT: An interesting tidbit from before practice began — Miles the mascot is here, and apparently challenged Chris Baker to an impromptu danceoff, much to the delight of the crowd. The 329-pound rookie held his own — that is until Miles broke out “the worm,” earning a handshake of defeat and congratulations from Baker.

6:06 p.m. MDT: The team is jogging from the end zone to the 25-yard line and back again several times, and the crowd is standing to cheer. Head Coach Josh McDaniels has said there will be plenty of “live” drills and hitting to see, so we should be in for a fun practice experience this evening.

Sixth Annual Broncos Bowl Brings International Flavor To INVESCO Field

August 4th, 2009 - 11:32am by Cindy KelloggOther posts by Cindy Kellogg

Saturday, August 1st, 2009, marked an historic day for youth football in Colorado when the Broncos welcomed a first-ever international youth team — the Panama Marlins –  to Broncos Bowl.  The Marlins kicked off the day with a hard fought win against the Denver Broncos Boys & Girls Club.  

The day advanced under bright Colorado sunshine with five more games:  Wheat Ridge Crushers vs. Broomfield Youth Football Spartans; Legacy Lightning vs. Green Valley Giants; Colorado Springs Boys & Girls Club Vikings vs. City of Fort Collins; Arapahoe Youth League Warriors Red vs. Aurora Crush; and Denver Public Schools Futures North Vikings vs. Pueblo Shamrocks. 

Every player that day experienced the feeling of running out of the tunnel to a formal introduction on the 50-yard line and then played a full game on an NFL home turf.  Fans were treated to some exciting play by these youngsters, including some near full-field touchdown runs.

Denver Broncos fans will see the most colorful uniform variety in team history for the home games at INVESCO Field at Mile High this year.

Of course, the team’s primary home uniform remains the dark blue jersey and white pants.

By now fans are well aware of the fact that the Broncos are celebrating their 50th season of play and the American Football League this year. As a result, Denver will don the notorious 1960 uniform, featuring seal brown pants and helmet, gold jersey (kind of a mustard yellow), and the infamous gold and brown vertically striped socks.
