Denver Broncos (15/32)

September 29th, 2013

Matchup:  Denver Broncos (w) vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Setting:

• Section 500 (VERY high up) but at least it was at the 45 yard line.
• It was pretty hot out (75-80degrees)

Game Highlights:

• Trindon Holiday - kick return for a TD
• Thunder the horse gallops across the field for every touch down. 
• Their statue bronco's spit fire after every Denver touch down. There were enough TD's during the game I was able to get lots of photos.
• Second time for me, but first time for Steve, to see Peyton Manning in action.
• Happened to be Michael Vick at QB for the Eagles

Trip Memories:

• Met up with my co-worker, Charlie K after the game and had Denver-famous green chili
• Parking at the Pepsi Stadium Center was listed online as a 10 minute walk... however it's really a 30-40 minute journey to the stadium entrance! 
• Day before we took a trip to Colorado Springs where we a van took us to the top (14,000 feet!) of Pike's Peak and we took bikes down the mountain!
• We recommend Falling Rock Bar/Restaurant for their fried mushrooms!

Trip Memories: 

• Had a great dinner and visit with my old coworker Laure and her husband Matt
• We hiked Mount Rainer 12 miles
• Explored Pike's Fish Market... which included tasting a maple glazed donut
• It was surprising and sad to see the number of homeless in the downtown area of Seattle.
