Come and see the Broncos’ Superbowl Trophies! 

The Broncos are coming to Broomfield, and they’re bringing their Superbowl trophies to show off. 

This special celebration, sought by the Broncos organization, is Wednesday, Sept. 5, at Broomfield County Commons Park. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Kids and families from both Broomfield Youth Football programs have been invited to participate.  

The fun begins at 6:30 p.m. when a Broncos cheerleader will welcome everyone to the evening’s activities.  Other members of the Broncos organization will be there to thank the people of Broomfield for their support. 

The Broncos will bring the Super Bowl Trophies, along with other historical items for fans to see.  The Super Bowl trophies make for a great photo opportunity for all who bring their cameras. 

Cheerleaders, Miles the mascot, and maybe even some current or alumni players will be on hand to sign autographs and take pictures with the attendees.  Bring your memorabilia to get signed. 

The Broncos will bring their punt catch machine and mini-football toss for kids and adults.  The punt catch machine shoots balls into the air so fans can feel what it’s like to catch an NFL punt.  The mini-football toss will test the throwing accuracy of fans.  Trinkets will be handed out for all participants. 

The culmination of the evening centers on Broncos Country flags.  The Broncos will bring two flags, one flag to be given to Mayor Karen Stuart in a presentation at 7:45 p.m. The second for the people who attend to sign. This flag will hang in INVESCO Field at Mile High as proof that Broomfield is Broncos Country.  

In early August, Broomfield competed against other communities in Colorado for the opportunity to have the Denver Broncos visit Broomfield to show their appreciation for the support shown by local Bronco fans throughout the years.  The Broncos sent out 115 invitations to various cities throughout the state,and 25 responses were received. Broomfield was one of nine communities selected for a visit The others are Cheyenne Wells, Trinidad, Sterling, Estes Park, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, Rifle and Edgewater.  

To win the visit, Broomfield staff jumped into action.  Public Works employees decorated city trucks, already painted orange and blue, for photographs that would go into a Power Point presentation.  The presentation’s background music was an original song written by Frank Schoengarth, self-sufficiency and employment services manager for the city.  Singing the catchy tune were library and HHS personnel. 

This presentation, along with a banner announcing Broomfield’s invitation, was delivered with boxes of home made sugar cookies decorated with sprinkles in Bronco colors.
