Broncos Fans Crowd Larimer Square For Playoff Rally
DENVER (CBS4)- Thousands of Denver Broncos fans gathered in Larimer Square to cheer on their favorite team for the playoff rally on Orange Friday.
Fans didn't disappoint on Friday afternoon as they packed the streets of Lodo in a sea of orange and blue before the Broncos take on the New England Patriots at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday for the AFC Championship game.
The Broncos Road Warriors were also at the rally and say getting behind their team is a tradition.
"At Mile High we've got to give them thunder like the Barrel Man did! We cannot be quiet! Let's stand up for the first quarter and not sit down until we dominate!" said one of the warriors.
"It's everywhere and we're all united in orange and we love our Broncos! They're the best team in the NFL and it's such a family atmosphere around here and it doesn't get any better than that anywhere else," said another warrior.
