Broncos To Host Limited Number Of Fans For 2nd Home Game

DENVER, CO — The Denver Broncos are set to host a limited number of fans at Empower Field at Mile High for their Sept. 27 home game against Tampa Bay, team representatives announced alongside Gov. Jared Polis in a news conference Tuesday.

The team worked with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to develop a plan for allowing 5,700 fans to attend the game in person — around 7.5 percent of the stadium's capacity.

All Broncos season ticket holders will automatically be entered into a weighted lottery based on priority number for single-game tickets and parking passes with an on-sale date within the next week, the team said.

Seats will be sold in "pods" of one to six tickets, and sections will be separated into smaller groups with designated entry, concession and restroom areas to limit fan exposure, the team said. Suite seating options —with limited capacity — will also be available first to current Broncos premium members.

Empower Field at Mile High has announced many safety precautions, which include entirely mobile and cashless technology, touchless restrooms, improved air purification systems, increased sanitization protocols and extensive staff training.
