The number one stadium in the country, though, is Beaver Stadium, home to the Penn State Nittany Lions. Beaver Stadium may get this one by virtue of its sheer size -- its 107,282 capacity makes it the largest stadium in America and third-largest in the world. It's held more than 110,000 spectators for a single game, and on gamedays, State College, PA becomes the third-largest city in Pennsylvania by virtue of the influx of people.

Virtual Broncos: Selvin ready to shine?
by phantom818
on Jun 4, 2008 2:43 PM PDT
Welcome back for another edition of Virtual Broncos. This time the ball carriers of the league stand front and center. Sportsgamer recently released the running back ratings for the 2009 edition of Madden. Guess what? The Denver Broncos recently released Travis Henry!
While Henry is currently on the list under the Bronco name, that will all change come release day. This list does not leave Bronco fans depressed, however, as the back-ups do make an appearance. Madden fans can get their first look at Selvin Young as the starter before...well, before he's even the starter.

NFL Replay: Lessons from the Bears game?
by phantom818
on Jun 3, 2008 1:30 PM PDT
Alright, so I obviously didn’t have much to do on Sunday, because I was watching the NFL Replay of the Broncos/Bears game. Yes, that game. I wrote up a short little game summary with my thoughts on today’s team in relation to that team in bold. If you don’t want to read it, you don’t have to, but some Broncos fighting for spots this off-season showed some things in that game – guys like Hamza Abdullah and Andre Hall included.
The Bears had lost three straight at home and the Broncos had won two straight after dropping four of five. This particular game was crucial for the Broncos even if they wanted to keep up with the Chargers. Lovie Smith even likened it to a playoff game.

Guru's Point: The Hall of Fame

Fans might need to try and do more to help get these Broncos in the Hall. Unfortunately, even those efforts might not be enough. I recently read a great article from 2006 about Floyd Little and the lack of Broncos in the Hall of Fame.
Little is very humble about it, just the way we as fans pride ourselves in our team. Check out these Floyd Little quotes…they’re even somewhat sad. I’m not going into the debate on who should or shouldn’t be in the Hall here, I’m simply talking about the lack of Broncos in the Hall: something all of us at MHR have thought about.

Camp Update: Mustard Out 8-10 Weeks
Tight end Chad Mustard, a player fighting for his life on the Denver roster, suffered a hamstring tear that will sideline him for eight to ten weeks. This is the second time in two weeks that a Broncos tight end has gone down. First Tony Scheffler reinjured his foot on the first day of workouts, and now Mustard joins the list of injured players. The absence of Chad and Tony will give players like Nate Jackson more looks in the Denver offense.
Outside of Mustard and Scheffler, Coach Shanahan expects all injured players back on the field for the start of team camp on Monday. Those injured include Travis Henry, Dre Bly, DeWayne Robinson, and others with pulled hamstrings (Keary Colbert, Mike Bell, Spencer Larsen).

"I feel totally different. I feel like more of a, if I can use the word, beast. I feel I can do a lot more than last year. Now I know I can do it. It's not, 'Wow, I really did it.' I knew I could do it before. Now I expect to do it."

Virtual Broncos: What about Jay?
by phantom818
on Jun 1, 2008 12:10 PM PDT
Welcome to Virtual Broncos, where we'll be taking an early look at the virtual counterparts of your real life Denver Broncos! That's right, I'm talking about the Madden 2009 edition of the Broncos.
I know it's "only a video game," but some of the ratings I've seen and experiences I've had in-game can sometimes be somewhat accurate. This particular series will help stir up some debate and maybe answer some questions. I'll try to use the virtual gaming world to help tie up threads in the real football world. While it's not perfect, it can be a creative and fun starting block for discussion.
This week, we'll start with the quarterbacks. Sportsgamer recently released the ratings for the starting QBs around the league. Sure it's still early, and sure roster updates will come by the end of camp, but some of the Denver Bronco ratings I've seen have me a little perplexed. Hopefully we see a lot of roster updates released with Bronco names on them. For example, how about that Jay Cutler? How does he stack up with the rest of the virtual league?
