Their fans base is lame and far less intense than the Broncos country area. There are bars and places that hold huge seating for big screen games in Wyoming and Montana. Bronco country has been around far longer than the fans of NEw England jumping on the Pats bandwagon. There's a lot of history with their basketball and baseball team. I'll acknowledge them as being big on that. However, I think Denver has more passion for the Broncos as well as history. I also think Denver has more passion for the Av's than Boston fans the Bruins. 04:05 I have familiy in new england that didn't even watch football prior to the Pats winning the superbowl.

Plus, anyone on the East Coast who doesn't identify with New York takes up with their rivals in Boston. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connetticut are full of Red Sox fans and are right nextdoor to Boston - much closer than Fort Collins or Colorado Springs is to Denver. You have to add those populations up when you calculate fan base. Denver doesn't have any highly populated neighbors to draw fans from.

Doesn't feel quite as vacant as parts of Denver does, and there is a lot more pedestrian traffic. Not to mention their subway system, they have department stores downtown, density... the whole bit.

They didn't even know what successful football was prior to the 21st century. Boston only likes sports because it gives them recognition over New York. They're so insecure about being the east coast step child that they'll take this as their clame to fame. Tell that guy that New England deserves to loose because they're not really football fans.

But mind you we still have the attendance record for Baseball history, in the first season at Mile High Stadium. Let's make year another one of those record-setters!
