Denver: We were in Denver for the weekend, I had only been once and that was over 10 years ago. Denver is interesting because it is growing leaps and bounds. It's working toward hitting it's peak, but it's not there yet. It's on the rise.
We had a good time eating and drinking. There were five of us in one pod and another five in another, we were all staying at Airbnbs in the Highland neighborhood. The first night there we had some excellent Ramen at Uncle, got some drinks at Williams-Graham (the Mick Jaeger changed my opinion on drinks....if you can make a first class drink using Jaegermeister the possibilities are endless). We also made a trip to one of the dispensaries to get that out of the way.
On Saturday I went to the Colorado-USC game in Boulder. This is covered in another post.
Pre-game: We did some day drinking downtown. Nothing special to report there. Also grabbed a couple of beers at Brian Common Brewery right outside of Sports Authority Field.
Game: The Patriots kicked their ass fueled by Denver's horrible special teams. There was a fumbled punt, a kickoff returned for a TD and a blocked punt. These mistakes rendered the game noncompetitive. The atmosphere was very good for an NFL game. The fans were really nice, I didn't see any obnoxious shit. Though the fans did seem a bit resigned because the Broncos have fallen so far, so fast. Their defense is very average, we've already covered special teams, the starting QB is Brock Osweiler. I would not mind coming back here for a big game.
Stadium: Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Not bad for a newer NFL stadium....but it's still an NFL stadium. Not a lot to comment on here. Very vanilla.
Post Game: This was a night game and Denver is not a late night spot. There weren't many options for a drink after the game so we went back to our Airbnb.
