Tebowmania, move over. There’s a bigger ticket in town.

4,372 fans atttended the first practice of Denver Broncos training camp Thursday, setting a record for the Broncos’ Dove Valley location. The record was previously set on August 1, 2010, a throng of 3,103 to see Tim Tebow in his rookie year. That’s an increase of over 1,200 fans.

Does Peyton Manning have the same buzz and crazed following as Tim Tebow? No. Denver’s team expectations are just higher, and fans recognize it.

    I live for Bronco football, I read every scrap I can get on it, I discuss it ad nauseum all year long…just looked at training camp pics and said “holy crap…Adam Weber is a white guy!”…geesh.
