DENVER -- Some Denver Broncos fans are upset about a new sign at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver.

The sign says "Sports Authority Field," but is missing the "at Mile High," which is the stadium's new name. It was changed earlier this month when Sports Authority agreed to buy the naming rights and Invesco gave them up.

Broncos fans on Twitter also don't like the color.

One said it looks more the Kansas City Chief's red than Broncos orange.

Another said, "What disrespect from @SportsAuthField and its designers!"

One fan complained about the quality of the sign.

"Good to see we've dropped the big bucks on a full color banner. That's like $100 at Kinkos," said a fan on Twitter.

Sports Authority Field tweeted that they like the new signs, "Signage has started to go up in the bowl. Lookin' pretty sharp."

Sports Authority says the new sign is temporary, until the new sign, which includes "at Mile High" in installed in a week or two.

Uh, it's red, white and blue.

It's an orangish (not a word???) red with Bronco blue in the background. Plus adding the mountains is a nice touch.

And they are painting the roof red, too:

someone should photoshop gold over the blue parts for even more Chiefs effect.

First of all, it's a stupid name. Second, it's red. Third, it looks like belongs on a mall or the MLB. Fourth, the white horse on top looks ridiculous.

ESPN now reporting the permanent sign was brought in by a group of Bronco linemen. They dropped & completely destroyed the new sign. For unspecified reasons, the linemen were covered in Vasoline.

I like how a few of those guys are going "it's just temporary, it's just temporary" and then one guy says "Have you ever tried to paint over red?"

How ****ed is it that LL seats at Arrowhead are orange and a lot of the broncos stadium is red?

Do Bowlen and Hunt play in a card game together or something?

I could be wrong, but I think it's the lighting. I saw an earlier pic of it when they were in the process of putting it up, and it looked orange to me.

Now the stuff on the roof - that's red for sure.

EDIT: Here's the pic I was thinking of. Still kind of redish, I guess.

**DaFace** · 09-08-2011, 12:35 PM

On a side note, I guess I don't see why anyone would care as long as it's only in conjunction with the Sports Authority name. If they changed all the seats to red, that'd be one thing, but everyone knows it's just ads.
