The BIGGEST takeaway of the Denver Broncos’ offseason after OTAs and minicamp

**Zac Stevens** (0:00)
The Broncos are not back, but we are back on the DNVR Broncos Podcast. We're back for a second time, actually. Yeah, exactly. And we are live from the Toyota lounge, driven by your local Front Range Toyota Stores, and we are the DNVR Broncos Podcast. Super Bowl 50 champ, Bennie Fowler, Ryan Koenigsberg, Henry Chisholm, we got you here behind the camera, and Zac Stevens rocking and rolling with you today. Fellas, how we doing a second time?

**Ryan Koenigsberg** (0:25)
Couldn't be better a second time.

**Zac Stevens** (0:26)
Well, I think I might know why you are doing so good. I saw some stuff on social media that you two had quite a Friday, Bennie.

**Bennie Fowler** (0:36)
Yeah, we had an incredible Friday.
Number one, I got the call on Monday night from my buddy Clint, shout out to Clint, that hey, you know, there is an opportunity to go to the World Cup game USA versus Australia and Seattle, and that would be able to fly private out of Centennial. And so I asked my wife, it was cool, and she was like, yeah, absolutely. And so I knew that RK was already going to be on. He said, I think your buddy RK is going to be on the plane. And I was like, all right, cool. I'm not going to tell him. And I just want to surprise him on the tarmac. And then we're walking to the plane. And then he sees me and it's like, bro, you didn't tell me you're coming. It was cool. But we had an incredible time there. Great conversation. Obviously, the game was incredible USA won. And just being in the Seattle stadium, it was a lot of fun. And like, yeah, we had great vibes.

**Ryan Koenigsberg** (1:23)
Yeah, it was unbelievable. So awesome. Shout out to Rob from Taco Bell.

**Bennie Fowler** (1:26)
Shout out to Rob.

**Ryan Koenigsberg** (1:28)
We yeah. I mean, it was truly like a core memory. Never forget it.
Life experience. It was unbelievable.

**Zac Stevens** (1:38)
What was the atmosphere like? Because it's in an NFL stadium, obviously the play where the Seahawks are. But and you guys have been to plenty of NFL games. Was the atmosphere similar, different? How did it feel in that stadium?

**Ryan Koenigsberg** (1:50)
Very different from a football game.
But it was just so loud. Like the goal sound pops were so loud. And the best one was definitely the review. Because you get like the original excitement. And like I see the flags up. I'm like, damn, like offsides, offsides, everyone calm down. But then you get the VAR check and everyone's just staring at the ref like dead silent, just waiting for the announcement and like the crowd just exploded after that. So yeah, one of the one of the coolest sporting events I've probably ever been to.

**Bennie Fowler** (2:23)
Yeah, I'd say football like, you know, when you get into the red zone and there's opportunities or you see a deep ball, then everybody kind of stands up. But I would say when it came to the soccer game, anytime the ball was close to having a goal or there was like a forward pass in terms of, hey, we're getting ready to try to score.
Everybody was standing up. I want to say everybody stood up for like the first 10, maybe 15 minutes of the game. So that was super interesting. Obviously, Australia had their fans there. And then, you know, the USA chants were super cool. And then they have their own songs and different things like that. So very different. But yeah, it was a lot of fun.

**Zac Stevens** (3:00)
What did it feel like the split of the stadium was in terms of fans? USA versus Australia?

**Bennie Fowler** (3:05)
Yeah.

**Zac Stevens** (3:06)
OK. OK. Yeah. So it was the home field advantage that it should have.

**Ryan Koenigsberg** (3:09)
It looked like a like a college football game when there's just like a little section of other fans.

**Bennie Fowler** (3:13)
They had like a small, like little student section in the like in the first bowl of the stadium. And then they were put up high high in the other side of the stadium.

**Zac Stevens** (3:23)
And that is that is so cool. What what a memory for both of you guys.

**Ryan Koenigsberg** (3:28)
Yeah.

**Bennie Fowler** (3:28)
Lots of tequila.

**Zac Stevens** (3:29)
Yeah.

**Bennie Fowler** (3:30)
Lots of tequila on the way back.

**Zac Stevens** (3:33)
That is awesome. Henry, you got anything from this weekend that can beat that?

**Henry Chisholm** (3:37)
Not that can beat that. No, just watched all the soccer games. Watch US. Open. Nothing. No, nothing that comes close to that.
