DENVER — Bring on the Pats… and the warm gloves and hats!

Temps are in the teens, you’ll need long underwear and jeans.

Snow in the forecast and frigid temperatures is football weather for Broncos country.

“I’m born and raised in the state of Colorado, so I live for it!” one tailgater said.

Everyone has their own secret for keeping warm. We saw a big pot of soup on the stove, and plenty of adult beverages being consumed. But most fans say it’s all about layers and… “Broncos love baby! Broncos love keeps me warm!”

Broncos Country is a glass half-full type of fan base.

“It’s beautiful out today compared to what it was against the Ravens a couple years ago in the playoffs. If that was a ten, this is probably a seven compared to that!” a die-hard Broncos tailgater said.

Old traditions die hard, no matter the temperature.

“This set up has been going on since ’77,” said a life-long Broncos tailgater. “This is just what we know and what we do.”
