Let’s get this out of the way right now: Pat Bowlen would not have wanted any of this.
The Denver Broncos owner would not have wanted the tribute he got at Mile High Stadium on Tuesday.
He would not want the Broncos to don “Mr. B” stickers on their helmets.
He did not want John Elway to say, “This one’s for Pat” after Super Bowl 50.
But that didn’t stop those things from happening. And it shouldn’t stop perhaps an even bigger tribute to the Broncos owner following his passing last week — henceforth calling where the team plays “Pat Bowlen Field” at Broncos Stadium at Mile High.
