I'd previously been to Broncos training camp at Sports Authority Field (when Dove Valley's was being worked on) but I got to attend training camp at CSUHealth Training Center at Dove Valley this week. Here's what I thought.....
Cons: Seriously, my ONLY con was that there were virtually no autographs at the end. They had us go through this whole protocol of sitting still as they moved back the rope, moving slowly and waiting. Only a few players actually came out and signed and they literally signed for about two minutes. This sucked. None of us expected an hour but at least coming over and doing a few would have been nice. With that being said, if I'd have spent 2.5 hours practicing in the blazing sun, I would not have felt like signing autographs either. If THIS is the only con, it's not bad.
Pros: The facility was beautiful. Bathrooms were clean. Concessions (aka soda and water) were only $1 each, which is unheard of. There was a place to refill water. Free rally towels and flags. You really couldn't pick a bad seat on the hill. The staff was incredibly nice. Parking wasn't bad at all. Oh and BRONCOS PRACTICING! Yes! Seeing them up close and personal, running drills. Awesome.
Recommendations: Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Don't forget a blanket or something to sit on. Don't forget that bag policy (clear bags, etc). Bring water or cash to purchase water. No video allowed and no professional lenses. ENJOY it! Don't spend your whole time looking through a little viewpiece. Take it all in instead of shooting pictures the ENTIRE time.
