Be a cHaMPion in tHe coMMunity

In April of 2012, after existing under the brand “Champions in the Community” for nearly a decade, the Denver Broncos launched a new community branding campaign: BE A CHAMPION IN THE COMMUNITY, intentionally updating the brand to become a call to action for the community to join the team in civic stewardship. Under that new brand, 10 community partners of the organization were given one word as a part of the campaign to evoke emotion and inspire action from the community.

Komen Colorado CURE

The Denver Broncos will work alongside each of these partners and with our communities to contin-ue to build a lasting legacy of impact. Highlighted here are some of the programs or events that take place throughout the year capturing the Be A Champion in the Community spirit.

YOUTH FOOTBALL

The Denver Broncos are proud to support youth and high school football throughout Colorado and are committed to making the game safer and more enjoyable for kids. In 2015, the Broncos will continue to support USA Football and their Heads Up Football safety program which focuses on Coaching Education and Certification, Concussion Awareness, Equipment Fitting, Heads Up Tackling and Blocking, Heat and Hydration and sudden cardiac arrest components at the youth and high school levels.

Youth Programs: The Broncos will once again host Broncos Bowl, a preseason celebration of youth foot-ball where 10 youth football teams from around the state will have the chance to compete in interleague play at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. All Broncos Bowl teams are honored at the Youth Football Salute preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Broncos will also host the second annual Mom’s Safety Clinic this July where moms of youth football players will have the opportunity to learn about the components of Heads Up Football at the stadium.

Middle School Programs: This spring marked the seventh season of Denver Public Schools Futures Football and the second season for Aurora Public Schools. Futures Football is a tackle football pro-gram for middle school students led by district high school coaching staffs that emphasizes character development (5 week course led by instructors from Project Pave), work-ethic, academics along with proper football fundamentals.

High School Programs: The Broncos hosted the fifth annual High School Training Clinic this past spring where Colorado high school football coaches had the opportunity to learn from Broncos assis-tant coaches. High school programs also had the opportunity this summer to compete in the annual 7-on-7 tournament featuring more than 80 programs from across the state. Combine drills, such as the 40-yard dash and pro agility, along with the first annual Linemen Challenge, were also made available to teams participating in 7-on-7.

DENVER BRONCOS BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB

The Denver Broncos Boys and Girls Club was established in August 2003 with a $1.2 million investment over a minimum of five years—a commitment that was extended five more years in 2008 and extended once again in 2013 to include the operating budget of the Darrent Williams Memorial Teen Center—bringing the organiza-tion’s total investment over 15 years to $2.4 million. Currently, the Club’s membership has swelled to capacity with more than 1,500 mem-bers and an average nightly attendance of more than 200 children. Transcending the mere monetary contribution, the Broncos have committed to integrating community programs and player visits to the club’s operations, truly building upon a legacy of investment. An additional facet of that commitment is to continually develop and sustain programming that reaches members of all 18 branches of Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.

denver broncos youth center at the crossing

In June 2006, the Denver Broncos granted the Denver Rescue Mission $150,000 over three years for its new transitional housing facility, The Crossing. The Crossing is home to the Family Rescue Ministry program that assists moving homeless, working and refugee families into permanent housing as well as the New Life Program for men looking to improve their lives. The Broncos’ grant was designated to fund a ‘family room’ as part of the Denver’s

Road Home project as well as the Denver Broncos Youth Center that serves as an educational and recreational place for children of all ages residing at the facility. The Broncos continue to work with the Denver Rescue Mission on Broncos Tackle Hunger, an annual holiday party and other programs to benefit the children of the Denver Broncos Youth Center.

ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION COLORADO CHAPTER

The Broncos added the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter as a flagship community partner in 2014. This relationship with the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter aims to raise awareness and provide support to those diagnosed and living with the disease. Alzheimer’s is the only disease among the Top-10 causes of death in America that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed, and there are an estimated 5.3 million Americans (or the population of Colorado) of all ages living with Alzheimer’s disease in 2015.

THE ROSE ANDOM CENTER

In 2014, the Broncos added the Rose Andom Center as a flagship community partner. The Rose Andom Center, which is scheduled to open in Denver this fall, will provide services to victims of domestic violence through its wide-ranging support system of both public and private agencies. As part of this relationship, the Bronco granted $150,000 from Broncos Charities and committed to an ongoing collaboration with the Rose Andom Center, the first family justice center in Colorado. The Rose Andom Center will create a new vision for providing services to domestic violence victims by facilitating better access to services and staff of community organizations and government agencies in a single, safe location. This spring, the Broncos integrated Project PAVE (a Rose Andom Center partner agency) “True Man” character and leadership programming into 10 local middle schools as part of their Futures Football seasons.

The Broncos added Food Bank of the Rockies as a communi-ty partner in 2012. Since then, Broncos staff and players have volunteered at several Food Bank of the Rockies sites including their Mobile Pantry and Totes of Hope. In 2015, the Broncos hosted the inaugural Taste of the Broncos event—modeled after Taste of the NFL at the Super Bowl—a gourmet tailgate at Sports Authority Field at Mile High benefiting Food Bank of the Rockies. Food Bank also has a Kids Cafe program that provides meals and after-school snacks to all of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver locations. Food Bank of the Rockies is the largest private hunger-relief organization in the state of Colorado, annually supports more than 800 hunger-relief programs and in the last year has provided more than 53.2 million pounds of food to children, families and seniors in need.

DRIVE FOR LIFE

Since 1998, the Denver Broncos community blood drive, Drive for Life, has been held on a Tuesday during the football season at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Working in conjunction with Bonfils Blood Center, Drive for Life has become the largest single-day blood drive in the history of Colorado and one of the largest in the nation. In 2014, the Drive had more than 1,620 blood donors of which 337 were first time donors. The National Bone Marrow Registry program was also successful in registering 41 potential marrow donors to the Be The Match Registry. Finally, donors were provided access to the brand new Fan Zone, where they were able to play corn hole and participate in a football toss with Broncos players among other donor only features.

tHe DenVer Broncos cHeerleaDers

Members of the Denver Broncos cheerleading squad divide thou-sands of hours annually among dozens of Colorado organizations. Many associ-ations, including Global Down Syndrome Foundation, Denver Broncos Boys and Girls Club, Craig Hospital, Children’s Hospital, The Tennyson Center, Denver Rescue Mission and Race for the Cure, have been supported and visited by mem-bers of the squad in recent years.

For the 2015 season, the squad will continue to promote community involve-ment as its primary commitment, includ-ing the 8th Annual Cheer for the Troops Campaign, shipping thousands of pounds of food, hygiene and gift items all over the world to military serving our country.

Since 2003, members of the Denver Broncos cheerleaders have toured military bases in Egypt, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Italy, Guam, Hawaii, Kwajaleim, Japan and Australia, performing their 90-minute show to boost the troops’ morale and thank them for their service to our country.

In February 2015, the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders were selected to represent the United States at the 20th Annual Cathay Pacific Lunar New Year’s celebration. The squad unveiled an exclusive per-formance in front of thousands of spectators during the world-renowned Chinese New Year’s Parade that headlined the events.

Entering their 23rd season, the Denver Broncos cheerleaders are one of the premier teams in the National Football League. The Broncos brought cheerleaders back in 1993 after a 17-year absence and are proud of the work the team does both on the field and, more importantly, in the community.

The Broncos’ cheerleaders are selected through auditions held each spring.In 2015, 200 women tried out for the 26 available positions. Auditions focus primarily on dance ability;

however, appearance, personal accomplishments and community involvement also are contributing factors.Known for their distinctive western uniforms, the cheerleaders wear long leather chaps and jackets in the

fall months, ski-wear for cold games and a more traditional cheerleading leather skirt and vest in the summer months. The three uniform changes give the group flexibility with the rapidly changing Colorado weather.

In 2015, the cheerleaders will have a calendar, poster and other merchandise available for sale. For more information on the cheerleaders, including audition information and appearance schedules, visit www.DenverBroncos.com/cheerleaders.

Mascots

THUNDER

The Denver Broncos are notorious for having thunderstorms throughout the fall and win-ter—that is Thunder storming the field. Thunder is a purebred Arabian gelding that acts as the club’s mascot. Following every Denver Broncos touch-down, Thunder displays his impressive canter from one end zone to the other.

Thunder, provided by Thunder Spirit LLC of Denver, will be entering his 12th year during the Broncos’ 2015 campaign. Thunder took the reins as the Broncos’ mascot during a ceremony at the Sunday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 12, 2004.

The original Thunder served as the Broncos’ mas-cot for 11 years before retiring at the start of the 2004 campaign. His registered name was JB Kobask, but the stallion was given the “stage name” Thunder for his mascot duties. Thunder made his Mile High debut on Sept. 12, 1993, during a Broncos victory over the San Diego Chargers. In addition to his appearances at all Broncos home games, Thunder also appeared at Super Bowl XXXII in San Diego, XXXIII in Miami and XLVIII in New York/New Jersey. The original Thunder made regular appearances at events and community functions following his retirement.

Thunder had been Sharon Magness Blake’s personal riding horse for five years before assuming the duties of Broncos mascot in 2004.

Thunder is trained and ridden by Ann Judge of Thunder Spirit LLC. She is an accomplished equestrian.

MILES

Popular with all fans and especially children, Miles entertains the Broncos’ faithful at every home game and makes more than 250 appearances throughout the Denver community each year since being introduced in 2001.

Miles has performed all across Colorado and the world, including appearances at the Chinese New Year’s Parade in Hong Kong, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in New York City and the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Miles also visited more than 15,000 students in Colorado and Wyoming with his Fuel Up to Play 60 Program.

If you would like to inquire about schedul-ing Miles for your next event or birthday party, please contact Brad Post in the Broncos’ mar-keting department at (720) 258-3114 or visit www.denverbroncos.com/Miles.

sPorts autHority FielD at Mile HiGH

The Denver Broncos began a new era in 2001 when they took to the field in a new stadium, Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Built adjacent to their previous home of 41 years, Mile High Stadium, the new stadium features first-class, state-of-the art amenities for the teams and fans alike.

With seating capacity set at 76,125, Sports Authority Field at Mile High is one of the largest stadiums in the National Football League. It includes 1.7 million square feet of space (approximately twice that of Mile High Stadium), providing the ultimate in comfort and convenience—including wider concourses, wider seats, more restrooms, elevators and escalators and full-service accommodations for people with disabilities.

Sports Authority Field at Mile High features 132 luxury suites on two levels as well as 8,800 club seats. It is highlighted by an emphasis on state-of-the-art technology while maintaining the traditional aspects of Mile High Stadium that gave the Broncos a decided home-field advantage over the years. Those features include the close proximity of the seats to the field as well as steel treads and risers that fans utilize to create the same deafening roar that characterized Mile High Stadium.

A $30 million investment in Sports Authority Field at Mile High during the 2013 offseason increased the size of its scoreboard by three times while enhancing all stadium audio/visual elements, suites and concourses.

The stadium was designed and built by Turner/Empire/Alvarado Construction and HNTB Architects in association with Fentress Bradburn Architects and Bertram A. Bruton Architects. Numerous Colorado companies and hundreds of professional designers, engineers and construction tradesmen were involved in the construction of the new state-of-the-art facility.

Construction began during the summer of 1999, and official groundbreaking on the stadium was held on Aug. 17, 1999. The Broncos won the first game ever played in the new stadium, 31-24, over New Orleans on Aug. 25, 2001, in the preseason and won the first regular-season game, 31-20, at the facility on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants on Sept. 10, 2001.

Broncos staDiuM History

The Denver Broncos played nearly all of their home games for the first 41 seasons of club history in one building. Known since 1969 as Mile High Stadium, the facility opened in 1948 as Bears Stadium for the Denver Bears of baseball’s old Western League with long range plans to utilize it for football as well. When Denver became a charter member of the American Football League in 1959, the south stands (8,100 seats) and portable east stands (9,616 seats) were added to give a capacity of 34,657 for football. The Broncos began play in 1960.

After Denver voters turned down a stadium bond issue to build an all-purpose metropolitan stadium in 1967, a non-profit group began a fundraising drive with the goal of purchasing the stadium for the city. In February 1968, the group bought the stadium from Rocky Mountain Empire Sports for $1.8 million and presented it to the city of Denver. A 16,000-seat upper deck was immediately constructed over the west stands, raising the capacity to more than 50,000 for the 1968 season. In December 1968, the stadium was renamed Denver Mile High Stadium.

The Broncos posted a home record of 191-109-7 (.634) in 41 seasons of play from 1960-2000. With the exception of two games played at the University of Denver Stadium (1962 and ‘63 home openers; 1-1 record), every Broncos home game was played in the single facility known either as Bears Stadium or Mile High Stadium with the club posting a 190-108-7 (.638) record in the building. The Broncos went 19-40-2 (.328) from 1960-68 in Bears Stadium before posting a 171-68-5 (.711) record from 1969-2000 after the name was changed to Mile High Stadium.

The stadium was filled for every regular-season game from the beginning of the 1970 season through its final season in 2000. The Broncos sold out 237 consecutive regular-season games, and with postseason contests the total reached 250 over the 31-year period.

Expansion of Mile High Stadium, which began in 1975, was completed for the 1977 season to give the Broncos the sev-enth-largest home facility in the league. Denver voters passed a $25 million bond issue in 1974 to expand and improve the stadium from its capacity of 51,706 to 75,100. The stadium held 63,532 for the 1976 season, halfway through the project.

Bringing the stadium to its final capacity of 76,098 in 1986 was the construction of 60 penthouse suites atop the west stands.

One of the unique aspects of Mile High Stadium was its movable east stands. The massive single section, when fully extended, formed a horseshoe configuration for football, and when retracted, was in position for

baseball. The three-tiered struc-ture, measuring 535 feet in length, 135 feet in height and 200 feet in depth, weighed nearly nine million pounds and was moved a distance of 145 feet between the two con-figurations. The move was facili-tated by a process involving a thin layer of water on which the struc-ture moved. Water was pumped onto more than 90,000 square feet of runways and formed a .003-inch sheet upon which the stands rested. Hydraulic rams then pushed the stands forward at the rate of three feet per minute, making the move last somewhere around two hours.

Demolition of Mile High Stadium was completed in March 2002.

Broncos raDio netWork

It’s a Rocky Mountain tradition: 850 KOA and the Denver Broncos. For the 46th consecutive season, Denver’s 50,000-watt station serves as the flagship for the Denver Broncos game broadcast network.

Additionally, 850 KOA’s FM sister station, 103.5 The Fox, will simulcast the games along with more than 60 Broncos Radio Network affiliates throughout the West.

Dave Logan, who leads KOA’s broadcast crew as the play-by-play announcer, is in his 19th full season as voice of the Broncos following seven years as color analyst on the broadcasts.

A Colorado native and 1971 winner of The Denver Post Gold Helmet Award, he is one of two athletes (along with Dave Winfield) drafted by franchises in Major League Baseball, the NBA and the NFL. Logan

chose the latter, starring for the Cleveland Browns from 1976-83 and ascending into the top five of virtu-ally every receiving category in the franchise’s record books. He played his final season in Denver in 1984.

Since then, Logan has brought his love for sports and knowledge of the games to Colorado radio listeners as co-host of 850 KOA’s “Colorado Afternoon News” from 3-7 p.m. He was named 1997 Broadcast Citizen of the Year in Colorado and has been Colorado Sportscaster of the Year three times (1992-93 and ‘98).

Logan also is one of the most accomplished prep football coaches in the country as he is the only coach in history to lead four different schools to a state title at the highest classification (seven cham-pionships total). He is in his fourth season coaching at Cherry Creek High School, winner of the 2014 Class 5A state championship. He was named the Denver Broncos’ Don Shula NFL Coach of the Year nominee in 2010 and was named a finalist for the national award in 2014, recognizing his integrity, achievement and leadership demonstrated by the winningest coach in NFL history. He was also the recipient of the Denver Athletic Club’s Career Achievement Award in 2012.

Ed McCaffrey joins Logan for his fourth full season providing color commentary for the Broncos’ radio network. He was a guest commentator for three radio games in 2009 and is also a football analyst for Altitude Sports and Entertainment.

The former Broncos wide-receiver won two of his three Super Bowl rings with the Broncos (1997, ’98) and was voted to the pro bowl in 1998. He finished his career with 565 receptions for 7,422 yards and 55 touchdowns, and ranks fourth on the Broncos’ all-time receiving list for both catches (462) and yards (6,200), and third in touchdowns (46). His best season came in 2000 when he caught a then-Broncos-record 101 passes (3rd in the NFL) for 1,317 yards and nine touchdowns. He retired from the NFL in 2004 after 13 seasons.

As respected as he was on the field, McCaffrey has made an equally significant impact off the field- hosting annual football camps in Colorado. He and his wife Lisa are the parents of four boys, and are very active in the community through their foundation, which strives to improve the lives of children, particularly in Colorado.

MeDia inforMation

The Broncos’ media guide was prepared to assist in the coverage of Denver’s 2015 NFL season. For additional information, please contact a member of the public relations staff:

DENVER BRONCOS PUBLIC RELATIONS CONTACTS:PATRICK SMYTH: Vice President of Public Relations ........... (303) 264-5536 / patrick.smyth@broncos.nfl.netERICH SCHUBERT: Senior Manager of Media Relations ...........(303) 264-5503 / erich.schubert@broncos.nfl.netREBECCA VILLANUEVA: Corporate Communications Manager ...(303) 264-5598 / rebecca.villanueva@broncos.nfl.netSETH MEDVIN: Media Relations Coordinator ..................(303) 264-5608 / seth.medvin@broncos.nfl.net

The Broncos have a media website (http://media.denverbroncos.com) designed to serve the needs of all media who cover the club. The site contains the most up-to-date and complete information on the team, as well as a photo database for convenient download of high-resolution images. The media website also serves as the primary means to request credentials for Broncos home games through our online credentialing process.

Requests for game credentials must be formally made by Tuesday of the week of each home game, and credentials may be picked up at the media will call window in the North tunnel of Sports Authority Field at Mile High on game day. Should transmission facilities be required, please arrange for same through local representatives.

As a general rule, the Denver Broncos do not issue any types of press credentials to weekly newspapers or magazines unless they are of national circulation on specific assignment.

It is understood that all credentials will be used for the purpose for which they were issued without exception. Violation of this policy will subject the bearer to ejection from Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

WORKING PRESS: Admittance to the Broncos’ press box is restricted to the WORKING PRESS ONLY. Credentials are marked with individual identification. Passes are non-transferable.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Photographers are asked to take special note of the following conditions for use of press credentials, as set by the National Football League:

NOTICE OF CREDENTIAL USE CONDITIONS“The terms and conditions governing use of this credential are set forth in the Notice of Credential Use

and summarized in the 2015 Credential Memo, both of which are available at www.nflmedia.com and incorporated herein by reference. By accepting this credential, you acknowledge that you have read and are bound by the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Credential Use and summarized in the 2015 Credential Memo.”

Sideline photo passes will be tightly controlled by the public relations department and are generally limited to photographers shooting for a major metropolitan daily newspaper, wire service, or magazine of national circulation on specific assignment. As a general rule, field photo passes used for still photography will not be granted locker room access postgame.

RADIO-TELEVISION: In making requests for broadcast credentials, please specify requirements for spotters and/or statisticians.

STADIUM ACCESS: To get to Sports Authority Field at Mile High, which is located at 17th Avenue and Bryant Street, take Interstate 25 to the Sports Authority Field at Mile High Exit (Southbound, it is the 23rd Ave. Exit; Northbound it is the 17th Avenue Exit). The press entrance and media will call are located at the north tunnel of the stadium.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO SPORTS AUTHORITY FIELD AT MILE HIGH FROM DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: Exit airport on Pena Boulevard and continue to Interstate 70. Take Interstate 70 West to Interstate 25 South. Continue on I-25 South and exit at 23rd Ave. Go straight through the intersection onto a special frontage road, and then follow the directions to Lots H, I, J and K. If you do not already have a parking pass in hand, you will not be able to gain access to the frontage road.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FROM SPORTS AUTHORITY FIELD AT MILE HIGH: Depending on your lot location, follow signs to Interstate 25 North. To do so you can take 20th Avenue East to Clay Street, turning left at Clay and proceeding to 23rd Avenue. Take a right at 23rd Avenue and continue to Interstate 25 entrances. Another route would be to follow Bryant Street (which runs north-south on the east side of the stadium) to 17th Avenue East, which will continue beneath an overpass and take you directly to I-25 North. Take I-25 North to I-70 East. Follow the signs to DIA. Please allow 45 minutes from Sports Authority Field at Mile High to DIA.

POST-GAME TRANSPORTATION: Please advise Broncos PR personnel as soon as possible should you require transportation following the game. The amount of time you must wait will obviously decline as time goes by following the conclusion of the game. Should you wish to make your own arrangements, the numbers of local cab companies are 303-777-7777 and 303-333-3333.
