Governor Polis was a surprise guest speaker but Chief Blaine Hall's words hit home the most. It was a lot of work on his part and the City to get this facility completed. There were lots of smiles from those who were instrumental in pushing through the public safety tax initiative. Montrose has something it can be very proud of for many years. Broncos Game I attended the game between the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers Sunday night. It was so much fun. For three quarters the defenses dominated. The home crowd booed loudly when the Broncos offensive left the field each time they came up empty handed. I've been to a game at Lambeau field to see my Packers play and I thought it was loud there. It was nothing compared to Empower Field at Mile High. I couldn't hear my buddy who was sitting next to me when the crowd was at full throat. That was quite an experience. In case you missed it Broncos won 11-10.
