Denver Mayor Michael Hancock proclaimed Denver to be “United in Orange” for Thursday’s NFL opener in which the Denver Broncos play the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens.
Hancock will join with Miles the Mascot and a contingent of Broncos Super Fans for a bicycle procession from the City and County Building to Sports Authority Field at Mile High before the game. He also encouraged Broncos fans throughout the city, region and state to wear orange on that day.
Forget the controversy over the large posters of Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco throughout Denver, the city will go all out in orange on Friday (my words, I assume it should be Thursday). Several landmarks will be lit up in orange to support the Broncos, including the D&F Tower, Elitch Gardens Observation Tower and Big Wheel, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Four Seasons Spire, 1600 Glenarm Building, Lighting along 14th Street and the DIA Welcome Sign.
Adding to that support the Denver Pavilions will display a large Broncos Jersey, Larimer Square will display Broncos Banners, Broncos banners will be hung along the 16th Street Mall and DIA digital welcome signs will display “Go Broncos” messages and the DIA train will play a special Broncos message from Mayor Hancock.
