Overview
The Denver Broncos are ranked 20th in our overall team guide. The survey results show that 100% of player respondents believe that the new ownership group is willing to invest in upgrading the facilities. One example is the club’s decision to replace the playing surface at the end of last season, despite it being the last home game of the year.
Most of the feedback received focused on services available to players, as opposed to any serious complaints about the club’s facilities. This shows up in the areas of how the club treats the players’ families as well as a repeated complaint about the food and dietician services. They are one of only two teams that do not offer vitamins to their players, and respondents felt that there is no customized plan for a player’s nutrition.
