Arrived at 830 from ca. Took the train from the airport to downtown for 10 bucks. Early checknin at the Marriott. Just say down for breakfast.

Its sunny, clear skys, probably a crisp 47 degrees, but supposed to get up to 70. Perfect weekend for my first game at this stadium. Been to Denver dozens of times, but never for a game.

We love Seattle, new Orleans and Chicago for an away game. Let's see if Denver lives up to the hype. Ill report back.

It's not that bad, I mean I've never been to the stadium, or Denver outside of the airport ,and then going to actually snowboard many times i've been snowboarding at least 6 times on three different mountains since 2010..

And I'm old at 55, so I've been doing this since about 2010 going snowboarding at least once a year, it's not that hard to acclimate, and I'm way up on the mountain, so people can't be talking trash, i'm not there at the stadium, but also they all talked about you can't drink as much because you get drunk easier...

Also not true Seems like you can drink more, maybe I'm just opposite man, I don't know, but while you can feel it, it's not that big a deal, so I imagine people standing around cheering for their team is hardly going to feel the effect...:muttley:

How old is everyone in here? The stigma on marijuana ended in like 1997, or so I thought lol. Enjoy your trip, and cheer loud!

NOT stigma, Let me tell you what people don't like people who smoke weed a lot and I mean a lot like these guys being mentioned It's nothing to brag about and being a pothead is as bad as being an alcoholic and we see some of these guys who have ruined their careers in sports over it they chose it over their careers then gonna be talked about negatively.

Whatever your preference is on your own time as long as it doesn't get in the way of your career and your job that's fine we don't give a crap what you do at least I don't But some of these guys who have made choices like that and have absolutely ruined their careers like Randy Gregory he basically chose weed over his job that would be called a pothead whether you like it or not that is bad that's like being a Major League functioning alcoholic ,

that's bad as well... I mean I remember way back with Ricky Williams he was one of my favorite players from Texas to this day he was one of my favorite players to ever watch playing before what I understand he had major social anxiety and I'm talking about like real psychologists not the fake ones who get you your medical MJ cards, lol Everyone had glaucoma for a decade I don't know what it is

But his was actually not done by a quack real therapist said this guy the only thing that worked for him was weed to help his anxiety the only way he could play and function as a human was to smoke weed to help counter his anxiety and that's cool But back then the league didn't see it that way and I'm not even sure they still accept it as a medical prescription because you could still get suspended from it it's just they don't test as much and as long as you don't have a certain amount in your system during the season when you're playing when they pop up these tests on you then they're OK with it..,

So yeah, there's two sides of this Some of you want people to accept the fact that if you want to be a pothead or Major League prescription head or an alcoholic that we're supposed to be OK with it no we're not because it's ruined some careers of some of our favorite players..

So at least I'm being even.....

You breathe it in and exhale it out. Just like normal.

Well there is a truth to the fact that there is altitude issues and some people get altitude sickness but not everyone you can get acclimated i'm surprised the Cowboys didn't go up there on Friday instead of to day like all day Friday all day Saturday and had practices somewhere to get a little acclimated to it but I've never had an issue with it i've been going there a lot since 2010 from Texas to snowboard and you know being up on top of the mountains and I don't really feel it.... I mean it's obvious that there's a difference but each individual be affected differently....

Pretty sure Brian Schottenheimer covered this those with issues with sickle cell anemia and some form of asthma are going to have problems i'm a little worried about guys with migraines like Juanita Thomas it could be affected by the altitude sickness...

It isn’t really that much different until you start doing strenuous stuff. Skiing and moderate exercise is a minor hindrance but football, basketball, etc are difficult after about an hour. O2 tanks need to be at the ready.

Realize that skiing and snowboarding is not just moderate exercise but I guess you can see it that way but we're way up in the mountains therefore I'm sure the altitude is even worse up there therefore it doesn't even out?

I've never been affected by the altitude and I've snowboarding a dozen times in Colorado and two or three times in New Mexico But I've seen others struggle with it the first day or two...

Apparently it’s tougher I hear people complain about it in NBa I don’t know about NFL….they don’t complain as much probably because they are getting their heads rammed in and they have bigger concerns lol.

Skiing is moderate exercise unless you are carrying your skis uphill to the top :muttley:

But, the altitude does effect people differently. Even extremely healthy people can suffer. It never really affected me, only played baseball up there though.
 
Have fun. I looked into tickets but $400 each for nosebleeds was way to much. That's five rounds of golf.

Also, be mindful. Bronco fans can be worse than Raider fan.
