Thread: So how'd you become a Bronco Fan?

I see we have people from all over the world on this page. So how of all teams did you become a Bronco Fan?

My father finished his Air Force duty at SAC in Denver. My old man was an leather lid player for Rutgers in the late 30s. I was born at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Aurora. My old man took a shine to the the new AFL team. I've been a fan since the mid 70s. My youngest son was wearing his Bronco jersey to school today. It's a proud tradition for us.

My parents are from Wisconsin and when I was little I was a Packers fan. It didn't hurt that they won the first two Super Bowls and a host of championships. Still the Broncos were the closest team to me. I grew up in Great Falls, Montana. They were regularly on the tube. The Orange Crush and Denver's first Super Bowl got me hooked. Elway was the icing on the cake. Haven't missed a game since the 1994 season when I purchased a DirecTV setup and got NFL Sunday Ticket. Before that it was the sports bar scene after I left home.

I lived outside of Denver in the small town of Dacono from 4 to 7. It was during these early years that I started watching football with my Dad who is, surprisingly, a Raider fan. My Dad was not too happy that I picked the home team, but I've been a Bronco fan for as long as I can remember.

Born and raised Colorado native. I remember rooting for "the good guys" vs "the bad guys" because I was too young to understand the concept.

I'm a Colorado guy, born and raised. I was put in a Denver Bronco onesie before I could sit up. I had no choice in the matter.

We ate at "The Drumstick" after Bronco games.

I'm a 3rd generation Broncos fan. My dad & older were both born in Denver. I was raised in Rock Springs, WY, which got it's TV stations from Salt Lake City (via cable). With Denver being the closest NFL city to both my hometown & the city in which we got our TV stations, the Broncos were consider our hometown team.

I married into it. My husband's friends liked football, and he was living in Utah at the time and the Broncos were the closest team. He's been a fan for at least 25 years. I never cared about football until a few years ago. So I chose the team that matters most to the person I love the most.

Being from cali, my parents came from another country, and we all started watching football basically around the same time, around 1997... and i just loved the broncos logo at the time so they became my team. I also liked the dolphins because of the same reason. The broncos just stuck.

When i was 8 my mom got out of the Army and moved us to Utah. Coming from Maryland i liked the skins. In Utah i watched Elway and the Broncos beat the Bears and loved the team since. That was the year we lost the SB to the skins.

Pretty much how my wife became a Bronco fan.


As for me, because i was born in Ft. Worth Tx (albeit there for only 3 days) the first team i latched onto when i was 9 or 10 was too the Cowboys while they were at the height of the playing with guys like Dorsett, White, etc. And i used to root against Denver when i was younger because my parents used to love them so much. But dont know, one day i chose to root for the Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks and wouldnt you know it Dave Krieg and the Hawks beat them so i decided that it must be fate. That was around 1982 and from then on i became a Bronco fan and have been ever since.

When I was real little my dad was watching football and I was "watching" with him probably asking him a million questions. I said I like the guys with horses on their helmets. I may have been 4 or 5 but I've stuck to my guns.

Colorado born and raised. Have since moved away (not that far, but away).

Born and raised Colorado, three generations of rabid Broncos fans. I've watched since I was 5 and they lost their 1st Superbowl.

My story is similar to yours actually. My father was stationed at Lowery and I was born at Fitzsimmons. I spent years 0-3 and 7-10 at Lowery and moved during the 77 first Super Season. I got hooked that season and have been hooked ever since.
