A lot of different questions/answers in this article, but I chose the following:
Hey, Mike. My understanding is that the turf at Mile High is subpar to say the least. I realize they used a new fiber-wound hybrid system, but apparently the system doesn't live up to the promise. What are the chances the Broncos simply own up to this and install an artificial field? OR, go back to regular sod, which can at least be easily replaced?
Mike - Why are there no longer any flyovers at the Bronco games? The paratrooper thing is cool, I guess, but nothing gets the juices flowing like a rumble in your chest from a good ol' flyover!
-- Manuel Garcia, Falcon
The U.S. military stopped doing public flyovers during the budget-cutting sequestration on March 1, 2013. Even though there is no more sequester, the flyovers have not yet been reinstated by the military.
The Broncos have a standing flyover request for each of their remaining home games, but the military has yet to grant approval.
This flyover ban applies to all NFL stadiums, not just Sports Authority Field.
