Thread: Ring of Fame Plaza's latest addition: statue of Pat Bowlen

A larger-than-life statue of Broncos owner Pat Bowlen will be unveiled Saturday night in a private ceremony at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

The tribute was commissioned and financed by a group of community leaders with sponsorship ties to the Broncos. The 9-foot statue captures Bowlen in his customary pose on the sideline, wearing a business suit, cowboy boots and sunglasses. It will be placed in the center of the Ring of Fame Plaza, which is outside the stadium on the south side.

Brian Hanlon, the sculptor for the 27 busts in the Ring of Fame Plaza, began working on the Bowlen statue in January.

Glad to hear it. Pat certainly deserves the honor.

That is awesome.

Good for you, Mr Bowlen. Thanks for all you have done for the BRONCOS

If any Bronco deserves a statue, it's Pat Bowlen. Best owner in Denver sports history:

from this article:

Mr. Bowlen, who is in his 31st year as owner of the Broncos, has positioned the organization as one of the elite franchises in all of sports. A recent Harris poll named the Broncos as America’s favorite team—a testament to the winning culture and first-class standards established by Mr. Bowlen throughout his tenure in Denver.

During his three-plus decades of ownership (1984-pres.), the Broncos have totaled the second-most regular-season wins (293) in the NFL while appearing in eight conference championship games and six Super Bowls. Last season, Mr. Bowlen became the first owner in professional football history to reach 300 overall wins (including regular season & playoffs) in his first 30 seasons. His historic and prolific record on and off the field have been a testament to the organization from the inside out.

Love this idea. Great job by the organization on this one.

They probably will Gem, but hopefully not soon.

Think it's an amazing gesture to a wonderful man. Can't think of a more deserving guy to be memorialized with a statue than Mr. B.

That is fantastic! I hope we can win the Big One For him!

Wow I didn't know he was that tall.
