Musings from a Broncos Game.....

I became a season ticket holder to the Broncos this year after about eight years on the waiting list. Yesterday's game was the coldest I've been to yet, including light intermittent snow flurries in the 4th quarter. At halftime I had to go buy a hat and a second blanket. I'm a big man and I handle the cold pretty well but yesterday I couldn't take it anymore. The wind was blowing straight at us from the north as a cold front moved through during the 1st quarter.

If you're ever at the Broncos game steer clear of Tito's Taco Hut(or something like that). Spent $12(including guac and sour cream) on a burrito called the El Jefe which was square. Burritos are not square but this one was. I got the steak(carne asada) and what little steak there was included a large hunk of grizzle. I crave Chipolte burritos and they are three times the size of this burrito at half the price. I know it's the stadium and you're going to pay more but at least make the burrito into a cylinder and cut out the grizzle for crying out loud.

Cheerleaders were bundled up to the hilt and there was no cleavage shots even with the binoculars. Could not look through the binoculars after halftime as I was shaking too much even with the two blankets, a hat, gloves, jacket and a sweatshirt on.

Hot chocolate by the time it makes it up to my seat 1 row from the top in the southstands is merely luke warm chocolate.

Squirrels live in Mile High Stadium and one scored twice during the game, the squirrel(or maybe there was two) actually ran onto the field twice(once in each endzone) and ran across the goal line. We cheered as up to that point the Broncos gave us nothing to cheer about.

Stadium was as empty as I've ever seen it. They normally announce the attendance and we boo at the no shows, no attendance number yesterday.

I'm going to need to get warmer clothes for these winter games, maybe a snowmobile outfit including goggles.

Oh yeah the Broncos lost, again.....
