Colorado Bronco Stadium Event

[MikeD]

It was a little disappointing not seeing a Sasquatch Bronco and the lighting & weather was really bad. I was surprised how small they were in person but inside room was better than I thought it would be. I’m 6’6 and Had plenty of room both in width and legroom with the wife and both kids in it.

Did find out the drain plugs on the washout floors are removable/replaceable. Which is nice if you ever break a tether or lose a plug.

So (under the carpet of the base) does anyone know if there are there drain plugs? My 2017 JK had drain plugs under the carpet, when I raptor lined the entire tub I just left the carpet out used nice heavy rubber mats for the floor.

IIRC in the carpeted Broncos, there are passive drains. Rubberized floors have active plugs.

I'm going tomorrow morning.

I also was disappointed. Seriously, no Sasquatch! Denver is a serious 4x4 market and we didn't even get to look at the Sasquatch package. Ford Bronco marketing is as bad as Bronco production.

I guess it's nice to know we're not the only ones that have a hard time fielding a solid team of Broncos at Mile High. Jk, go Avs!

Another bummer is our local EB group was going to have 15 Broncos down for display. Only 4 showed up, rest cancelled, and the 4 left early due to the weather.

Yes, the four EBs that were out there from that group when I arrived were beautiful.

I was there from 12-1pm and it was pouring rain. I bet they were concerned with hail too, besides having to either sit in their vehicles or go inside the stadium.

Truth be told, the early Bronco's I saw yesterday were the highlight of my day!

Especially this one!!:

Good to see the Bronco in person for the first time. Staff was nice. The weather forcing this into mile high was unfortunate. The lighting was so bad I don’t feel I’ve actually seen it fully yet.
two takeaways. 1 the MGV was way better then I thought. 2 I love the overall proportions.
The swag was cool, best part was the slap on koozie. Didn’t even know that was a thing.

Please elaborate on the slap on koozie

Remember those wrist bands that you hit your wrist with and they wrap around it.

Imagine a koozie that does that. My daughter already stole it from me

I also thought the MGV was way more plush, soft, and better than I thought it would be. I was bummed about not being outside and getting to see the cans in the sun. Glad I went it solidified the buying decision for me

Slap on Bronco (Denver) koozie

No sunshine for me yesterday, but still a good day out: love the OBX, even the wheels, and though it was pretty dark inside, one of the presenters opened the top so we wouldn't have to fumble around with flashlights in the front seat.

So fun finally meeting so many Colorado Granger buyers and their spouses too! (Hmmm... Colorado Granger... has a nice ring to it!)

Years ago I was an operations manager for a high-tech startup. While we were between event teams, I had to organize, setup, and run all the events. We were at LinuxWorld Boston, Black Hat Las Vegas, etc. I tell'ya, a few days working a trade show is the most exhausting thing I've ever done, and I've done some exhausting things. I don't know how those Bronco event people hold up week after week - and month after month - on the road. The presenters, the Bronco Life guy and gal, the ladies running the football throw, and the people in the Bronco Sport tent were all super nice, and kudos to them for dealing with customers day after day. I couldn't do it.

Thank you. The first one is my 1970 in Mojave Tan and Wimbledon White.

I went yesterday and the only had one EB. It was a matte dark grey Icon resto-mod. Really cool looking.

I agree on the poor lighting but I think they originally planned this outdoors and the rain forced it inside. It was still great to see the Broncos. Would have liked to see a Badlands but the OBX and BD looked great.

Thanks for sharing, I had to miss it, glad that I didn't miss too much.
