New tailgate location and official grand opening annoucement of lot MH!

[Meck77]

Well here we are again! Another Broncos season on the horizon! I'd like to start off by saying it really has been a pleasure putting these tailgates together over the last few years. They wouldn't even be half as fun if we didn't have the energy and enthusiasm that you all bring. I know it's been a tough offseason with the war in Iraq and we've all had our differences of opinions about politics but let's not forget why the OrangeMane is here. It's about Broncos football and friendships not who's right and who's wrong.

I'd like to recap how the Omane tailgate party has evolved over the years. We started like this. http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/2984/mhbeginning6uy.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Then Taco and started yapping about chartering a bus to Canton for the HOF game and we built this.

Which evolved into madness like this:

http://www.orangeforceone.com/albums/ptm/20051224_Raiders/slides/DSCN5054.html


Which brings me to a project I've been planning for over a year and half now.

I'd like to annouce the new location for the OrangeForceOne/Orangemane Tailgate party. It's located adjacent to Lot M. I don't have a specific parking lot name yet but I'm leanging towards Lot MH. ^5

We had a blast in LOT CR-V space #31 but we outgrew it and I just felt we needed our own parking lot to celebrate Broncos games plain and simple. ;D

So here is a quick tour of our new spot. It has one of the best views in Denver:wiggle: . Also we are just a quick 30 second walk south from our previous location in LOT C and a 1 minute walk to the ticket office.

http://img327.imageshack.us/img327/2030/mhview6wo.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Plenty of room for buses:
http://img278.imageshack.us/img278/2072/rptailgate0582jj.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

And other tailgate parties like MileHigh Jester and Crushzilla who'll be joining us all season long. :militia: The nice thing about this tailgating lot is it opens when WE BRONCOS FANS want it to open.:)

[Meck77]

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/5958/rptailgate0536wl.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

So what does lot MH evolve into in the future? Stay tuned for the next few seasons!:thumbsup: I look forward to all the ideas you guys can bring. This is going to be one helluva fun project. I leaked out a couple times I was working on something bigger than a bus. Well here it is!

I think a nice coat of orange/blue for the building might be a good place to start.

GO BRONCOS!

[Master___Pain]

This is awesome Meck!! I am excited for next season Woo! Go Broncos!!! :OF1:

[ludo21]

CAnt wait till Week 2 guys!! My first ever Broncos tailgate and home game!! Bringing my noobie sister along too, its gonna be a blast!

[shakenbake]

Way to go Meck! I can't imagine what this is going to evolve into but it sounds amazing. You are going to make yourself into a milehigh legend. Congrats and thanks for keeping that mile high magic going.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Thanks for all of your work Meck. Hope to see you a couple of times this season.

Have fun - go Broncs

[Mediator12]

Ahh, so you finally have acquired the property. Congrats Meck ;D

I look forward to seeing you in less than a month for TC. I will be there from July 30th to August 6th paving the way for Kaylore to get a better view and a little better access to the players and plays in camp :thumbsup: We WILL get together this time and you can meet the Kids too.

Hopefully, I will get to see that site several times next fall and January!

Right on Med. Keep bringing the news and I'll keep pushing the Mile High Mania!:thumbsup: Look forward to seeing you again.

BTW...If anyone is in a band or has band in mind that might want to play a gig over here let me know. Bands are allowed in this parking lot. :peace:

[ludo21]

Nuggs is a band guy I think.

[Meck77]

Nuggs is a band guy I think.

Yeah he hooked up the Metalla Kids at our tailgate party 2 years ago. That band helped us bring home the "loudest tailgate party" award...lmao

I think they were also responsible for the rule change about bands in LOT C. Ha!

[anthonypacino]

Congrats buddy! Now only one thing left you gotta hire Fred to work the lot.

[GSRelyea]

Great Job Meck. OF1 tailgate joining with Jester's...this is gonna get crazy.

[broncobum6162]

Glad to know you got this deal finally closed. Congratulations!!
When you are ready for the next step......... Let me know, I'd love to take a working vacation in the Mile High City.

[broncosteven]

That is Awesome dude! You need to build up like in Wriglyville & put bleachers on the roof & over look the stadium!

That would rock!

[PatsWin2002]

You've outdone yourself - again.

It took me a second to get the "Lot MH" thing. :)

[heydensmom]

That's awesome Meck! Thanks for all your hard work you put in to make these tailgates one kick ass good time!

[Meck77]

That is Awesome dude! You need to build up like in Wriglyville & put bleachers on the roof & over look the stadium!

ahhh haaaa now the wheels are turning...That is the first thing I said to myself when I stood up there. :thumbs:



Here is a northeast view of downtown. If you look closely you can see the pepsi center in the lower left.

Another perk is we have a few hundred neighbors that like to tailgate right beside us on gameday. : A northwest view from the roof.

[Pezman]

Schwweeeeeet! I just have one comment though. Why are we hooking up with Jester? Are you nuts? You do realize those Jester Jello shots are world famous right?

We're soooooo not gonna be sober for most games :rofl:
Congrats on sticking it to "the man" at Mile High bro. Screw them and their lame ass policies!

[Crushaholic]

I have a submission for the parking lot name....

CAPTAIN ORANGE

...or CO, for short...

[Nuggets4]

Right on Med. Keep bringing the news and I'll keep pushing the Mile High Mania!:thumbsup: Look forward to seeing you again.

[smalltowngrll]

WOW...awesome!

Now you can buy a hot tub and leave it there!! No need to rent that sucker! Hot tubbing at EVERY tailgate!!

Now, if only my number would move to the top...I could buy my jet and make it to every game!! (ok, maybe I'll have to just rack up the frequent flyer miles!)

WTG Meck!!

Congrats . Figures I come out twice last year and this year you set up Studio 77. The Pats are not scheduled to go back to Mile High until 2009 at the earliest (unless we meet in the Playoffs) so I would have to find an excuse to come out.(Antelope Hunting ?) Whatever you do have this guy work the velvet rope.

[orange crusher]

I can't wait Meck! You couldn't ask for a better spot - it's close to the stadium and other tailgaters only YOU get to make the rules. Good Work! I just wish I was closer and could help out.

[Disco Man]

Just so all of you know we will make the rules on when lot MH opens in the morning and when all have to leave afterwards.

GO BRONCOS!

so is this a private lot a bit further south?

thats what it looks like in the pic. looks like a nice spot.

man, i really cant wait for the season to start.
the crush, avs, and nuggets died in the playoffs, and all i see on the tube lately is tennis and futbol. UGGHHHH!!

between that and the many other offseason issues (both personal and broncos related with my draft day meltdown) i just want the season to start.

God willing it will be a good one. we need it.

hopefully we can build on everything thats been done in the parking lot and take even more of it into the stadium.
we had some of the loudest and orangest crowds in a LONG time last season, so here's to hoping it continues!!

see you all there, and a special thanks to meck, disco, and co. for all their hard work getting things set up.
see you all there.

GO BRONCOS!!

[Falconer]

Wow, it looks great Meck! I am going to have to make it out there sooner or later.

[BMF Bronco]

damn I am looking forward to the 17th more and more each day!!!!!!!!!!!

[broncocalijohn]

i knew you were trying to acquire property near the stadium and you sure have hit it. I am not sure if you are renting out the building but make sure the lease states you have "rights" to the lot on game days. You have an overview map and how to get there. Looks like it is off of Colfax. Are you charging parking or better yet can we park there? Details details. Just think no closing time, consume whatever we want and if something happens, we just point to Meck as owner!

[hades]

CAnt wait till Week 2 guys!! My first ever Broncos tailgate and home game!! Bringing my noobie sister along too, its gonna be a blast!


LOL, I just put in my vacation reaquest at work to go to the home opener! Can't wait!!!

[Hogan11]

Meck never ceases to amaze....glad to see you got what you were working on. I can't wait to check out the new digs!! :thumbs:

[B-Love]

Yeah Meck, way to go brother!!!!

I wait for the day when you call and ask for my help with the dedications to take place inside that building. We're gonna decorate that ***** with old school Broncomania in mind, and make it the greatest Broncos shrine of all time.

I know you're some time away but I look forward to partying in that lot, but even more so, inside your new acquisition.

Congrats.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

I'll be calling you dude. Don't worry about that. They tore down Ole Mile High to the north of Invesco. We'll rebuild the spirit of that ole place the best way we can to the south. Salute!

I have this vision of a 90 foot bar with Mock in a 1987 orange old school shirt yelling "STFU you dimit" while he polishes off his 7th freshly brewed MH beer.:)

CaliJohn: To answer your questions. I have it all worked out man. The plan isn't to cram cars in this parking lot. I'd rather save the room for Bronco buses/Tents/BBQs/Kegs (those are allowed here;D)/A band/Lawn Chairs/Broncos fans/Hot Tub etc. We always had a problem even getting band equipment passed security just so they could drop their stuff off. I'd like to save a spot or two for band members etc. There definetly is a ton of parking all around there though and it's alot more accessible than lot C was I can tell you that.

[smalltowngrll]

No need for parking...that's why most of us out of towners stay right next door at the Red Lion! Within walking (or as someone so eliquently stated on the tailgate thread...staggering) distance!! ;D Ha!

Whats pretty nice about this location, is that if you do drive down, there are some close $10-$15 dollar private lots nearby.

[Kaylore]

I will be there from July 30th to August 6th paving the way for Kaylore to get a better view and a little better access to the players and plays in camp :thumbsup:
Man that would be nice. I remember we planned this last year but it fell through for some reason. Hopefully we caan hook up this time. Maybe I can even snag some for interviews and quotes. :wiggle:

[broncosteven]

Get your Jewerly store to sponsor the interviews & tell the players you are giving out watches & or Jewelery etc... like they do on the pre/post game shows! you don't have to give them great watches I am sure we can take a collection here! I have a Donna Reed watch I can send you I bought it when I had a crush on Donna Reed when Nick at Night was playing the show. Maybe Champ would like a Donna Reed watch & will give you an interview for it.

[Meck77]

so is this a private lot a bit further south?

thats what it looks like in the pic. looks like a nice spot.



There seems to be a bit of confusion of where this spot is based on a couple of pms I've gotten. This will clear things up. We are the little island/building next to Mr. Bowlens Empire (Right of the green arrow just click the google map link) His stuff is to the north and west of us. This is our little piece of Broncos beachfront.8')

New location:

We are directly south of where we were last year. It's a quick walk Jake.

Very cool... exciting stuff, Meck! :thumbsup:

[CBF1]

OUTSTANDING, You never cease to amaze me brotha. Without a doubt you are 1 sick individual. I have got a cigar for you for my first game this year.... ultra limited "Island south of Miami" special :)

Time to celebrate!

[Meck77]

I'm not the only one around here with a Broncos disease. I keep running into fools like you all over this country.

Those fine cigars! Arggh I quit smoking dude. I'll drink a cold beer with you though.:thumbsup:

One more piece of the puzzle is TailgateNut. We pull that dude in and it's all over. Never thought we'd ever be able to rival the Canton tailgate a few years ago but I think we may just pull it off this year. We have ourselves a block party in the works.

[Teddman]

That's awesome Meck. Glad to finally see what you have been planning all this time. It is going to be one kick azz time down there! Can't wait for the season to start.

Dude, anyone with single malt at a tailgate is righteous :notworthy I always knew CBF1 was pretty cool. I will bring some 25 year old Highland park for the Chiefs spanking. (Cue:Rascal 25 year old HP)

This is pretty good distance walk but STG and I easily walked this 10 times longer during the Pats game. Cheaper parking around there. It should be very interesting.

i stayed there two years back, nice place except the freeway noise, heard it gets packed for games. i tried to tour the stadium the next day but it was closed, all i could do was go round the stadium and buy tons of merch in the store. lol looked great from the outside

PS, the espnzone in downtown was pretty awesome too

That was labeled by Google. I never call it Invesco.

Isn't single malt a requirement at all tailgates??? I can do without the Cigars!

Meck, Props for getting it done. I remember when it was just a "plan". I spoke with one of the Bronco's equipment managers over a few scotches yesterday and I guess they were looking to buy the property to use for storage space.
You got in just in time!

I think you may be downplaying the impact this will have on the tailgating scene at Mile High. One for the record books!

44 days to go!!!

[Archie]

Meck - this is such an awesome thing. We've got quite a crowd over in Lot R and will continue to cultivate this year but I think this is awesome and will be a huge win for the OrangeMane tailgate. I love the no rules thing and I'll be jealous of you for that...

Props to you guys for holding up LOT R. Tell you what Archie. If your crew ever wants to camp out before a game we'd love to have you guys park at our pad the night before. I'm sure they'll be more than one occasion when the tailgate starts on Saturday.^5

Nut it's funny you mention the building being used to store equipment. The Denver Nuggets actually rented the building for about a decade when the old Mcnichols arena was nearby.

The building isn't exactly shinny and screaming Broncos right now but neither was the New Jersey transit bus when we first saw her.

http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/2159/sideview4xx.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Some of you may recall this is what we dubbed the bus project at first until Mock came up with "Ground Force One". Then Orange Crusher suggested "OrangeForceOne" and it stuck!

For now the new project is simply LOT MH.:thumbs:

Congrats Meck! I sure have enjoyed the tailgating get togethers over the last season, and hope to be able to help out more and meet more people this year! Will see ya all soon!

[Master___Pain]

Well in keeping with the the theme of OrangeForce1 I suggest the Orange House as the name for the lot/builing/new pad

[broncosteven]

How about Orange House One?

[TailgateNut]

How about Orange House One?


Sounds like a halfway house for broncofans during the off-season!

[Master___Pain]

How about Orange House One?

I'll leave all that up to the boss man/owner. I'm just throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what might stick.

[Meck77]

I'm just throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what might stick.

Well that's how the bus project went. People would toss out ideas like "Stripper Pole" and we'd add in the ideas as we could....lol

The first two ammenities I plan on adding is a commercial grade flag pole and leaving a permanent grill on site. I'm tired of jerking around with a flimsy flag pole and my big ole cast iron smoker grill is itching to get down there.

I have to check with planning and zoning to see how high of a pole they'll allow. We do have to follow the rules of the City of Denver.

Good start! Ol' Glory is a must, then add two smaller poles for a Bronco Flag and an OF flag (to be designed)!

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

How about running a contest for the best design for the OF flag. I would contribute a case of beer or a bottle of single malt as a prize.

[Archie]

How about Orange House One?

Or, borrowing from the weekend retreat of the exec, maybe "Camp Orange"

[Archie]

So.... this is from the Local.Live.com virtual earth tool... get's pretty close...

Meck, can you confirm this is the building and lot that you are turning into Lot MH / Orange House / Camp Orange? Also, does the property include the lot all the way over to Decatur or just immediately south of the building?

http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&ss=Invesco%20Field~80202&cp=39.738722~-105.021969&style=h&lvl=19&scene=2528748

[Meck77]

That's a pretty slick view! You got it! MH includes the building and the lot to the south of the building to the pine trees. Mr. Bowlen/Stadium district owns the rest of the parking spaces around the building to the north/west. I don't think he'd be interested in selling the lot all the way to Decatur street. We could ask though.;)

There is a nice shot of the green space to the south. That will make a nice spot to toss the ole pigskin around!

[Midnight Blue]

Well... I'm in a band, and it looks like we might be in Denver for the KC game....

(Did y'all hear about us being on a VH1 thingy?)

;D

"Mr. Blue" and I are really hoping you guys can go with us, Sixstring! :D

[dumpy]

Awesome Meck. Now the questions is, can you get the stampede to march under the bridge to come see us?

[PatsWin2002]

So, Meck, it's this area I've put in yellow?

[Master___Pain]

So, Meck, it's this area I've put in yellow?

Not Meck, but that is correct

[PatsWin2002]

Not Meck, but that is correct

Thanks :)

I haven't copyrighted that pic yet so anyone can use it to point out the lot. :D

Know what I thought was weird? Decatur Street is in 2 disconnected pieces - one running in front of the lot and the other behind.

[Crushisback]

Man that is too friggin sweet. I'm getting a major Mile High itch right now. I'm searching for tickets because of this thread.

Meck you are the man. Iwish you would have been at the AFC Title game I would have liked to meet you and your bus. I guess now I'll have to meet you your bus and you bad azz building.

Any Ideas on cheap (as money is the only thing that keeps me from coming to every game) tickets for three or four games next year anyone?

[AZ!]

You are the man Meck!

I look forward to joining you in Denver, with a couple of us from our El Paso Fan Club this season. Not sure which game, but I'm sure I will be there! Thanks for all you do for us BRONCOS Fans!

[watermock]

I'm not sure it goes that far south, dunno but that's the site.

I suggested Orange Fort One because it uses those ribbed prefab concrete walls and gray. It's built like a fortress. Like the Bus, I'm sure he's got all kinds of crazy ideas. I don't know if he can get by with the 90 foot bar tho. I'm starting to get visions of a second stripper pole.

We got good tickets (last year) through Candy at A Lewis Tickets...

And in all honesty there are usually tickets floating around the tailgate too.

[shakenbake]

You got the whole presidential/miliatry thing going with orange force I, so maybe the Orange House. Seems like a good place to park orange force I, or perhaps Camp Orange. FYI theorangehouse.com is available.

[youcandoit1687]

looks awesome. so how big is the actual lot, is the parking to the left in the pic open on game days? or does everybody just walk from further away?

looking forward to going in a couple years somehow, someway, i will go!

[ak1971]

Congrats . Figures I come out twice last year and this year you set up Studio 77. The Pats are not scheduled to go back to Mile High until 2009 at the earliest (unless we meet in the Playoffs) so I would have to find an excuse to come out.(Antelope Hunting ?) Whatever you do have this guy work the velvet rope.


I might have to pony up for a boxing ring so I can fight opposing fans from the east:redpunch:

[Meck77]

Awesome Meck. Now the questions is, can you get the stampede to march under the bridge to come see us?


Good question Dumpy. The way I see the combined miles flown and driven for KC game alone between the members of the Omane should easily top 25,000 miles. I would think the stampede could walk the extra 700-1,000 feet to our new spot. Those cats are pretty cool. I think they had just as much fun playing for the group as we had dancing and burning chief shirts to their beat.:yayaya:

Patswin: Your line is real close. There is a bit more property to the west.

Youcandoit: Basically LOT M not to be confused with LOT MH is the entire area around the highlighted area that Patswin marked off.

Season parking passes for lot M can be purchased for $300.00 or $30.00 a game on a first come first serve basis. The nice thing about LOT M is the Broncos offer up alot more spots there then they do in LOT C. They only had like 40-50 spots in LOT C for sale to tailgaters last year. Basically LOT C was a ghost town until about an hour before gametime. That is when all the people with their BMWs would rush into their parking spots and scurry up to the club level.

Bottom line is Lot M has a much better vibe and it's FULL of tailgaters who get there early and there is plenty of room for anyone that wants to park there. :thumbs: Or if you want to save a few bucks you can park in LOT N which is also a great tailgate lot a bit further south of us for $20.00. Or if you cruise around a bit AK said there are 10-15 spots nearby.

We might have a couple extra spots in MH if an omaner rolls in with a trunk full of beer and beef. Please contact me in advance though.

Here is a view of LOT M to west:

No the pics I just posted are from the roof of the building. Both lots are the same level. Tell you what. Get out to Denver and I'll give you the personal tour of the area.:peace:

Everyone will figure it out soon enough. I think we have enough satellite images to guide you all in. lol

If nothing else look for Disco Man running around the lot. You can't miss him.Ha!

Meck, there's a $20 lot just across the street from the portapotty in your picture. They usually have quite a few extra spots.

[Hogan11]

Honestly, I'd just call it "Meck's"

[Sassy]

I think that's a great idea...add the "77" though ;D

[Meck77]

20 bones eh? That's reasonable and close! Good to know....

BTW...I talked to Jester today. He said he's going to stop on in. Been bugging him for awhile to join up to the mane. He ain't much of a computer guy though. Jester where you at man?

Nice shot of Jester and his posse rolling into Canton a few years ago.

Meck's Mile High Club? ;D

[Meck77]

Colorful Broncorado! That has a nice ring to it.

[anthonypacino]

If you are trying to name it I would keep it simple, my rule of thumb is you have to be able to say it while you are drunk, to many words and it get's mumbled

1. The Spot...it's simple and to the point
2. Ground Zero...once again to the point with more description
3. you could throw the "At Mile High" behind any of them

"Lot 77" or "77 Park" are things that popped into my head.

Nice ideas...but, Ground Zero, unfortunately leaves a terrible image in my head with that term being used over and over again after 9/11.

The Spot is cool...I like that. I also like Meck's thoughts... We have a spot here that's simply called 28. We could call it seven seven. :clown:

[Crushaholic]

Lot 77 has a good ring to it. It's simple and stands out from the other lots with letters in it.

i wish i could get out to denver more often but in all likelihood, it wont be for a while. although, maybe just maybe i could convince the parents to spend xmas vacation with relatives in euray and sneak down to a game. lol pipedream most likely

most likely, the soonest i will be able to get down there will be for a winter break in college or something. yall have fun without me tho lol

[broncosteven]

I suggest leaving the name Lot MH but instead of it meaning Mile High it can have a dual meaning of either Mile High or "Meck Heaven" with or with out the 77.

[Crushaholic]

Nice ideas...but, Ground Zero, unfortunately leaves a terrible image in my head with that term being used over and over again after 9/11.

I'm in complete agreement with you. I would resist calling it "Ground Zero"....

[heydensmom]

Ha! The name Meck's 77 reminds me of a gas station....

[youcandoit1687]

I'm in complete agreement with you. I would resist calling it "Ground Zero"....

ya, no ground zero. plus, it doesnt really have any bronco meaning

Not a problem man. We will be in this same spot until Bowlen sells the Broncos and the team moves or my liver goes out. Either way we aren't going anywhere for a long time. We are laying roots down!

Infact we were just down there today measuring some things up! All is quiet at Invesco field. Only thing to report is they repaved LOTC. I was kinda bummed to see that. All those hours of BBQ grease art we laid down vanished! ;D

[broncoblue]

oh man ..thats gonna be some partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....az this year broncos in oct next year

12th man and Tedman have earned their spot in LOT MH. Those guys hauled a keg to KC and were pretty much the first to arrive on scene all season long packing massive amounts of beer and grub. ^5

We'll slide your ride into the lot.

Actually the upside of having extra tailgate spots in MH is we can now have have extra vehicles on hand and zip over your way. Before we were always trapped in LOT C. We can all pile into someones pickup truck and cruise over for a visit.

Or vice versa. If you guys want to swing by MH we'll have room for someones car/truck to stop in and you won't have to pay 40 bucks just to get near the tailgate.

I'd imagine there is someplace close to leave a car for a bit near R? Or is there only that frontage road to to the highway?

If not I have my bike and hopefully some more time to get away from the grill etc.

Or the heck with it. Just come out to the stadium Saturday night to help us kick off the party! You can put the new crib right on the lot.;D

[Archie]

ok I knew one of those 5 ideas might work.

Actually, I liked all the ideas :).. Driving over might work - you could claim to be dropping something off or just stopping by. They have let people in a number of times to do that. One of the tailgaters last year could not get a spot in the lot (in previous years it had been possible to get in on game day but last year was supposedly sold out). He ended up in Lot N every week but he would stop, drop his stuff off, and then walk back over from N.

meck - my folding tables and chairs are yours for the cause...i will also donate the first keg to 'de-virginize' the new digs...what flavor???


off the subject here, but is anyone going to cleveland in oct? i saw that frontier is running a sale that ends tomorrow (13th) looked like a good deal on airfare...

[Sassy]

Yep...going to Cleveland...but we've had our airfare and hotel booked since April ;D

[12thMan]

sweet...where r ur seats? i am still looking to buy (ebay, stubhub, & through ticketmaster this sat) hope to see you there!!!

[Sassy]

Section 147? I can't remember for sure...ask Hogan.

[Hogan11]

Section 147? I can't remember for sure...ask Hogan.

Yup....147, Row 38. Endzone across from the Dog Pound.

[Archie]

12th man... today Meck noted that he a) has some potential extra seats to Cleveland and b) the code to buy them yourself on Ticketmaster before the "general public". Here is the thread... http://www.orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?t=43996

So - we are locking in on Arizona on Dec 17th.... I even suggested a golf tourney or something on the 16th so we'll see if I can pull that off. I'd love to make more but with a new one (2.25 days old now) hard to see that happening.

[milehimike]

Well here we are again! Another Broncos season on the horizon! I'd like to start off by saying it really has been a pleasure putting these tailgates together over the last few years. They wouldn't even be half as fun if we didn't have the energy and enthusiasm that you all bring. I know it's been a tough offseason with the war in Iraq and we've all had our differences of opinions about politics but let's not forget why the OrangeMane is here. It's about Broncos football and friendships not who's right and who's wrong.

I'd like to recap how the Omane tailgate party has evolved over the years. We started like this. http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/2984/mhbeginning6uy.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Then Taco and started yapping about chartering a bus to Canton for the HOF game and we built this.
http://img324.imageshack.us/img324/8167/of25vi.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Which evolved into madness like this:

http://www.orangeforceone.com/albums/ptm/20051224_Raiders/slides/DSCN5054.html


Which brings me to a project I've been planning for over a year and half now.

I'd like to annouce the new location for the OrangeForceOne/Orangemane Tailgate party. It's located adjacent to Lot M. I don't have a specific parking lot name yet but I'm leanging towards Lot MH. ^5

We had a blast in LOT CR-V space #31 but we outgrew it and I just felt we needed our own parking lot to celebrate Broncos games plain and simple. ;D

So here is a quick tour of our new spot. It has one of the best views in Denver:wiggle: . Also we are just a quick 30 second walk south from our previous location in LOT C and a 1 minute walk to the ticket office.

http://img327.imageshack.us/img327/2030/mhview6wo.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Plenty of room for buses:
http://img278.imageshack.us/img278/2072/rptailgate0582jj.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

And other tailgate parties like MileHigh Jester and Crushzilla who'll be joining us all season long. :militia: The nice thing about this tailgating lot is it opens when WE BRONCOS FANS want it to open.:)
PROPS to you man, I hope I can get there once this year, I had a great time in san diego, but home games are always better. I am planning to make it to both cleveland games and the kc game. Hope to see you sometime this year at one of these away games Stuck in wisconsin, MILEHIMIKE

Don't worry Archie, I will definitely find my way over to visit. You always have great grub and plenty of good beer. How could I miss out on that?

When you finally end up buying the franchise, can I have 50 yard line seats front and center????

I suggest the name 'PLANET ORANGE' Looks like your very own satelite revolving around the star of Broncomania.
Then again...when the stripper poles go up and the bar is stocked it could be "Studio Orange" inside.

Don't forget to make room for 'EGIBGB' mud wrestling events. :)

I immediately thought "Epicenter." Then moved on to "EpicenterOrange." Then I looked up epicenter in the thesaurus:

"nerve center,HQ, command post, control center, epicenter, esoteric reality, ganglion, headquarters, hotbed, hub, inner reality, intrinsic reality, switchboard, vital center, vital principle."

Im kinda liking EpicenterOrange. :thumbsup:
