Pat Bowlen, the influential owner of the Denver Broncos, under whose 35-year stewardship the team won all three of its Super Bowl titles, died on Thursday night at his home in Englewood, Colo. He was 75.
Mr. Bowlen’s family announced his death in a statement. He received a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in 2006, and had had no role in running the team since 2014.
But in the decades after he bought the Broncos in 1984, for a then-record $70 million, Mr. Bowlen had one of the most successful runs any team owner has enjoyed in American professional sports.
