From Denver's sidewalks to the barbecue smoke-filled parking lot outside Sports Authority Field at Mile High, the city is decked out in orange support as the Broncos' playoff matchup against the Steelers begins.
"The force is with the orange," said a man who called himself Orange Vader, head-to-toe in Broncos colors with an orange Darth Vader mask.
"I think we're going to kick their (butts) back to Pittsburgh," Bill Meys, of Westminster, said as he tailgated with friends.
Meys, a season-ticket holder, pointed toward a life-size cut out of a Broncos cheerleader watching over his SUV as proof of his dedication to the team.
