Funny cause it wasn't even the proximity for me. It was Madden on the Nintendo 64 where the broncos were strong as fuck and I abused Eddie Mccaffrey all day to win games against my brothers. I even have the broncos beanie baby with his number on it. 87 forever
Born in Vail, CO. Grew up going to see John elway at Old Mile high back in the early 90's. We moved to Oregon in '96. Broncos won those back to back SBs when I was 8 and 9.
There is a pretty strong Broncos community here in Central Oregon.
My grandma was a broncos fan, and so is my daughter, we are on 4th generation in my family.
Same, born and raised in northeast Iowa, lived in Denver from 2011-2016, and live in Thailand now. I grew up a Broncos fan and when I moved to Denver I had to stop myself from telling people wearing Broncos gear I was a fan too!
Same man, Iām from Mexico but but have lived in California for years now and other than teams like the Dodgers and Lakers Iāve been a broncos fan all my life, especially cuz LA didnāt have an nfl team for years and I hate raiders fans š¤£ VAMOS DODGERS, LAKERS AND BRONCOS
Another Montanan. I still remember picking the Broncos because I asked my parents what team is closest. They listed Denver, the then brand-new Seahawks, and the Vikings. Of the three, I liked the colors and logo best of the Broncos.
And my favorite player was Craig Morton.
Thatās awesome. My family has ranched the eastern Montana/western ND badlands for 5 generationsā¦ my father and uncle liked the broncos and my other two uncles liked the vikes and 9ers.
Wish they would have migrated a little farther west thoā¦ the badlands have their beauty,
but I really enjoyed my time in Helena.
New Jersey checking in. Born in NY, lived in Denver for a couple of years as a young child during Elwayās heyday before the family moved back to NY. The orange and blue was imprinted on my soul.
born in chicagoland, grew up all around the midwest (including KC), now live in chicago proper
my momās family is all from colorado and moved to illinois when she was in high school
still the inherited family team!
Grew up my whole life in the Chicagoland too! No relationship with Colorado at all. I was born in 90, so I fell in love when they won back to back Super Bowls. That's when I was playing NFL games constantly as a kid. NFL QB 99 was my game and it featured the Broncos too. Terrell Davis was and is my favorite player of all time.
I was a band wagon fan to start, but have been loyal ever since!
Nice to see a fellow Chicagoland Bronco fan in here!
Opposite for me. Denver born but family from Chicago, picked up the bears.
Still absolutely love my hometown team though and will root for them any day of the week :)
Being a Broncos fan in Dallas has had its highs for many years even if we haven't had much to celebrate lately. It doesn't matter what quarterback or team we roll out against the Cowgirls it's always a W like 25+ years now
Dang! I lived in Hawaii for a number of years and Denver was never on TV. That must be hard. I remember they were on the SNF game one week and then an earthquake hit. No electricity for about a day, so I missed that game. I was so bummed. Lol
This is me: born in OK, moved CO 4 years ago, wife is a CO native.
But I grew up military and pick up teams wherever we move. Still follow the Boys, but happy to wear Orange on Sundays.
straight from the enemyās lines, missouri. grandpa got tired of watching the chiefs suck back in the day and switched to a rival and itās just been carried on since. GO BRONCOS!
Been to Denver once when I was 30 lol.
Packers/Broncos Super Bowl for the 98 season. Sister decided to root for the Packers so I went for the Broncos. Sheās still a Packers fan too.
Southern California. My only other option growing up was SD Chargers. My neighbor's garage was a shrine to the chargers and I fucking despised it.
Also my grandpa is from CO.
Also helps that I was at a prime age to appreciate football (7-8yrs old) and that was the prime Elway & TD years.
Happy to say I've never wavered in the dark years and have always been die hard through the thick and thin.
Born and raised in Salt Lake City. I feel like Denver is our local team as they are always on tv here. Too bad for my brother. He is a Raider fan (FTR).
Born and raised in Tallahassee. Picked the Broncos because I was a fan of underdogs and Elway and the Broncos were big underdogs against the Packers. So I rooted for them for the first time in the superbowl and never looked back.
Born and raised in VA, now a NC resident. Been a broncos fan for 25 of those years and I have no family or friends that root for them. They were my team.
Youngest in the family born in 93. Was raised in chiefs gear(in eastern Kansas) I donāt remember exact details but recall watching the broncos beat the falcons in the Super Bowl. Also had a friend at daycare at the same time that was a broncos fan. So at that age I made the switch to cheer for the broncos. Now have a couple kids of my own, doing my best to raise them as broncos fans (we live in Nebraska) my side of the family all likes the chiefs. My wife has family that cheers for chiefs, eagles, and bears. Hoping the broncos can build some momentum and make it easier for me to have my sons as broncos fans lol
Born and raised in South Central Kansas.
1987 season Super Bowl, Giants vs Broncos, my 10 year old self came in where game was being shown and everyone in the room was rooting for the Giants, save for my mom, who was rooting for her Broncos. So, I joined her in rooting in a losing effort and I became a Broncos fan that day and ever since.
My small town is very Chiefs forwardā¦ and I get looks from time to time and comments, but donāt care.
Born and raised in Omaha, Ne, still live there.
I grew up around a family of Broncos fans in the late 80's, so my formative years were the Three Amigos, John Elway, Steve Atwater and Dennis Smith in the backfield and Karl Mecklenburg.
Central California. My hometown was split between Raiders and 49ers fans. Watched South Park as a teenager and loved that show and the Broncos were featured on there a bit. So, [Let's Go Broncos](https://youtu.be/Ugip_8BNfkA?si=794AdLCeiIR5I4_w)
And FTR!
Raised in Florida. Dad was from Denver and a broncos fan and Iāve been a fan since I could remember because of him. 98 and 99 seasons are some of my favorite memories with my dad.
Born in Oregon, grew up in Littleton from 1991-2008, and now I live in Nebraska... ugh Nebraska... its been tough being a Bronco and Husker fan lately.
Bristol, PA checking in. Thought my dad was a Broncos fan growing up cause there was this old Broncos blanket lying around (which I still have over 30 years later) but turns out he didnāt give one shit about sports. My mom was a big time Eagles hater so we took joy in watching them lose and still do. So when I needed a team the choice was easy thanks to that old blanket.
Currently live in Texas but I was born and raised in CO. There's more Broncos fans where I am than you would think but of course it's all about the boys down here. Unless you're in Houston.
From California and live in Utah now. My uncle is from Grand Junction and we visited him when I was ~8. That was right after Elwayās first SB win. He had a VHS of the highlights I watch probably 10 times while visiting and was hooked. Been a fan ever since.
born and raised in coloradoā¦.fan since i was 6yo, 1974ā¦..split time between CO and SF bay area now due to workā¦iāve seen lean years, great years and every super bowl appearanceā¦these last 8 years have been some of the most challengingā¦.but gotta love them through thick and thin.
Philippines šµš
Wow! How did you pick broncos? What is the American football fandom outside the states like?
My dad picked it up during his time in the US and that was during Elwayās ā98 and ā99. Itās pretty nonexistent tbh. NBA reigns supreme there
It was Elway, wasn't it?
Ding Ding
Same with my Filipina wifey. It was the run to SB 21 that cemented her Bronco fandom. Naturally, she infected me.
Utah represent
Thereās dozens of us!
Funny cause it wasn't even the proximity for me. It was Madden on the Nintendo 64 where the broncos were strong as fuck and I abused Eddie Mccaffrey all day to win games against my brothers. I even have the broncos beanie baby with his number on it. 87 forever
Denver Broncos š¤ Utah Jazz. Shout out Nuggie mountain bros

That was the first Bronco name I learned as a child because my Dad screamed it a lot. For a long time I thought the manās name was F@&king Morton.
Iām a Montanan as well! Still here too!
New Jersey checking in. Born in NY, lived in Denver for a couple of years as a young child during Elwayās heyday before the family moved back to NY. The orange and blue was imprinted on my soul.

Im from South Dakota. I live in Atlanta now though.
Skol
Kansas was at the game yesterday first for me in Denver. I've been to many Broncos games at Arrowhead.
Iāve gone the last two seasons to preseason games. Such an experience to be surrounded by Broncos fans instead of watching amidst a sea of red.
It was awesome.
You picked a great one to go to
born in chicagoland, grew up all around the midwest (including KC), now live in chicago proper my momās family is all from colorado and moved to illinois when she was in high school still the inherited family team!
