Broncos camp has small turnout

Looking forward to the days when training camp on the heals of a Superb Owl win is no big deal. 

"It could have been the Peyton Manning factor.

Or maybe the Denver Broncos are still suffering from a Super Bowl hangover and have yet to get excited about the upcoming season.

Or perhaps it’s this: Bronco fans are taking a wait-and-see attitude about this year’s team.

It can’t be the price.

Whatever the cause, the Broncos drew a surprisingly small crowd of 3,407 to the UCHealth Training Center for the team’s first day of training camp Thursday. There were 4,025 fans who showed up on Day 1 of camp last  year for a team coming off a disappointing, playoff-opening loss to Indianapolis."

Meanwhile, both Voth & Igo are talking about the stands at Gibbs stadium filling up remarkably quickly and predicting they'll run out of seats for everyone....

So what's that?  15K?

I was just about to ask that. What's a good turnout for day 1? Wikipedia says Gibbs Stadium holds 13k.

Not denying that Denver are the Super Bowl champs or trashing their team.  I'd just think that a SB win would INCREASE fan excitement, not decrease it.

Can you imagine opening day at training camp numbers decreasing if we'd won the Super Bowl?  It seems very odd.  Must be the lack of a star QB, I'm guessing.

Neither does Bojangles, but you can bet your a$$ I'll be pulling through the drive-through for some steak egg and cheese here in about 30-45 minutes.

Last year, we had 35,000+ for the opening practice/party. I don't have figures for today yet. Still pouring in!

 

CORRECTION: it was 35k for opening weekend. About 17700 opening night. We definitely have exceeded that tonight.
