The Denver Broncos have been in darkness for some time now, and just when everyone thought trading for Russell Wilson would bring them out of it, they got worse. Just when everyone thought Sean Payton would get them out of it, they barely missed the playoffs.
Now, the offseason is here, and there's no real direction this team is going. They aren't making very many moves, and they really aren't doing much else in terms of being in rumors to draft some of the bigger-named players. But it's easy to stay down, and it's tough to stay optimistic, and that's what the Broncos are trying to do as they make some changes.
During the Annual League Meetings on Monday, we learned that the Broncos are making major facility changes. First, according to President Demani Leech, the stadium's WiFi has been upgraded massively. This is a huge deal if you have ever been to a game.
Secondly, Greg Penner announced that the Broncos are replacing the turf in the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse with "state-of-the-art" material to help the players. According to Leech, the Broncos could start construction on their new facility either before or after training camp this year.
That's not all, though. As Leech also said, the Broncos stadium's future is still being discussed.
"All options are on the table," Leech said on Monday.
There is a positive going on with this team in terms of the things they are doing to better the facilities. It may take time to show, but you will see it soon enough.
