so you have no problems with the nfl hanging huge banners of the other teams players on your teams stadium during your teams home games?
Bias much?
I have no problem if the NFL wants to put a picture of another teams player, on the outside of the stadium, for the opening night of the NFL season, when a large portion of the free world will either be watching on TV or attending in person.
Huge financial gain for the city of Denver and the Broncos franchise. All for the cost of one picture.
Correct ^
Please list the financial gains Denver gets. All TV money is equally shared and Denver has sold out 300 some games in a row no matter who they play. So I'm not seeing it.
You can't be serious. Do you even know how the real world works?
Hotels, rental cars, restaurants, etc. Not just the normal Sunday afternoon game. But, the extra media coverage because it is the 1st game and the only game on that day.
This.
That many people coming to see the game is a huge influx of cash to the local economy.
What extra people? A few more media types? It's not like lots and lots of people are going to come to Denver just for this game.
I understand you are a fan and can't see past it being a simple banner of an opposing player. I expect it, to a degree, from any fan.
However, you are completely underestimating the value of this opening game. I would bet you can already see people showing up in the city that wouldn't be there. It will be a week long event. Once the preseason games end on Thursday, all the attention will shift to the 6 days leading up to Denver.
Heck, just the guys that put that banner up. They wouldn't have been there for a Broncos game on Sunday (whether it was the afternoon or the night game)
As a fan that lives hours away from any NFL team (and even farther from my favorite team) I'm trying to keep from telling you to shut the F up. Life could be much worse then a freekin' banner.
