Monday night sports conflict, what will you do? - The Orange Mane

Bronco LB 59 · 10-16-2007, 02:51 AM

Game Five of the World Series (*if neccessary, third sweep?) is scheduled to be played at Coors Field on Monday, October 29. That same evening the Broncos and Packers square off on Monday Night Football. Greg Aiello said the league will not change the start time for MNF because there is "no parking or facility conflict".

What will you do that night?

Turf Shaman · 10-16-2007, 02:57 AM

I'm not a baseball fan, and even I think there's no contest. I'd easily rather watch the World Series but I'd flip back and forth. Is the Packers game already sold out? If not if might jeapordize the sell out streak. Either way I bet there'd be tons of empty seats unless there's a sweep.

Meck77 · 10-16-2007, 02:57 AM

I think we should all crash Ak's private suite.

broncocalijohn · 10-16-2007, 02:58 AM

I said it in the tailgate section and bb thread that many fans that have both tickets will sell the broncos tickets without a doubt! Too many ticket choices will possibly lower the prices on the WS IMO. You got to go with the baseball game a no doubter. Broncos are sucking eggs and Rockies are making history. I am flying in for the football game but will try to get tickets for the WS on SUnday. Maybe sneak in to that one. All i know is i will be at the football game tailgate but i think many people going will stay a little longer at their tailgate watching tv of the Rocks game. THe city is going to be hopping mad. Going to be fun if I am there and they clinch it on Sunday or Monday. Please no riots this time around.

dude, we have had a sellout since 1968 or 1973, cant remember but it is over 233 games i believe. Watch out for a ton of people trying to dump their tickets. Maybe to get the crowd to yell (even if the timing is wrong), the stadium operators should put the WS game on the big screen.

The Broncos regular season is sold out before tickets are printed.

There's going to be some no-shows for the MNF game, but you also have to keep in mind Brett Favre and the Packers are going to be a huge draw. This is the last time to catch Favre without attending a game at Lambeau Field. Maybe the Packer fans will come in numbers from dairy country and take advantage of the situation.

I think Bud Selig and MLB are extremely stupid to delay the start of the WS until next Wednesday and go head-to-head with MNF.

L.A. BRONCOS FAN · 10-16-2007, 03:09 AM

Watch only the Broncos game, couldn't care less about the Rockies.

Couldn't give a sh*t less about baseball - it bores the crap out of me.

Meck77 · 10-16-2007, 03:10 AM

I see this as a great opportunity for Broncos fans out there who normally wouldn't be able to get a MNF seat to grab one. Both stadiums will be full to capacity. Denver is just an awesome sports town.

CBF1 · 10-16-2007, 03:12 AM

Do not worry, Any Bronco tickets that are not used by Bronco fans will be bought by Packers fans. The travel very well and I would not be surprised to see almost 30% green and yellow in the stands.... A telling tale for ownership for sure.

Like i said in the tailgate section, let us see those diehard broncos fans come out by being able to get a MNF game ticket cheap. Jana of course wont be at the FB game but will tell us all how she would have been at the 50 yard line rooting for the broncos like a real fan should have in the 4th quarter against the Chargers. Step up folks. Lots of cheapies going to be out there.
The city is going to be a mess with the usual out of towners for the broncos, then you have a big traveling cheese head circus coming in (lots of extra LBs), the Rockies fans coming in for the games and of course either Red Sox nation or Indians' fans. TG i got my hotel and car already. Taxi cabs are going to be at a premium. I cant imagine driving into lodo trying to find a parking spot.

Do the Av's play that night too? Maybe they should schedule an afternoon Nuggs game? 4 sports one town one day. Outside of NYC has it happened?

No they play the night before against the Wild...I won't make that game. However I am going to the one after that one on a Thursday when the Penguins and Sidney Crosby roll into Denver. I love Denver because of the variety of professional sports it has here. World Series, MNF, Crosby and his gang in Denver...wow.

No ****, I live a couple blocks from Coors Field. Going to be a cluster**** that weekend with all the traffic and drunk ****s driving and walking around. I cringe at how much the parking prices will be for that weekend too.

If anyone picks the last option, they are in the wrong place.

chrisp · 10-16-2007, 08:35 AM

I just don't get Baseball at all. Everything to do with the NFL in general and the Broncos in particular excites the hell out of me but baseball just leaves me cold. If I've every watched any its out of a sense of curiosity to know what the hell people are going on about, but unlike with the NFL that never lead to me getting hooked.

Of course being a brit I do maintain a passing interest in Cricket, that's the only concession I'm prepared to make to stick-based sporting endeavours.

of course the other issue is that to watch either means staying up 'till about 4 in the morning with work the next day.....so maybe i just miss'em both.....

Say whaaaat?

Crushaholic · 10-16-2007, 09:18 AM

I voted to switch over to the Rockies game during commercials, but that's contingent on the supposition that it could be the deciding game. If the Series is tied 2-2, I might just stick with the Broncos...

RhymesayersDU · 10-16-2007, 09:27 AM

It's going to be interesting. I'll probably watch the Rocks and switch back. It obviously depends on how the games go. If the Broncos are down 21 in the 1st quarter, I probably won't watch it at all. Likewise, if the Rockies are down 10 runs or something, I'll go with the Broncos.

Or maybe I'll just switch back over every 15 seconds and give myself a seizure.

A question like this deserves a 30 day timeout.

Arkansas Bronco · 10-16-2007, 10:30 AM

Ive still got issues with the MLB but watch the Series every year. So I will watch the Broncos and catch a bit here and there of the Rockies game (since I dvr all bronco games if I miss anything can always rewind). Also gratz to you guys although Im not a true Rockies fan I will be pulling for you.
