Salute this: The largest crowd assembled in Denver history. A sea of orange and blue. The Super Bowl trophy hoisted above the steps of the City and County Building. Thirty-eight years after the Denver Broncos first took to the field, 650,000 grateful fans on Tuesday showered them with love and confetti at a parade and rally. I think we know how to give one hell of a party, Denver Mayor Wellington Webb said afterward. The Broncos were overwhelmed. They were pumped up. Quarterback John Elway, staring at signs that read Elway for President and One More Year, flashed those famous teeth as the crowd went wild. This trophy is as much for you as it is for us, he said. At that, Brian Rooman of Aurora began crying. Nearly 12 hours earlier - before dawn - he and his family were the first fans to arrive at Civic Center Park. ... That was my story that appeared in the late, GREAT Rocky 15 years ago today. Yes, I was lead reporter on the Broncos Super Bowl parade.
