Frank Schultz and his tireless team at the Tavern Hospitality Group, owner of all the Taverns in the metro area, are building a custom-designed Tavern on the lower concourse of Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Tavern Mile High will have the same type of amenities as the neighboring Taverns: high-end architectural design, central bar accessible from three sides, HD TVs and more. The new place is expected to be open by the first or second regular season home game.
What differentiates the Broncos home field Tavern from the other locations is that Tavern Mile High will only serve beverages, no food.
“We met with the Broncos earlier this year to air jordan 13 femmes discuss forming a partnership,” Schultz said. “After brainstorming, we decided it would be beneficial for both us and them to put a Tavern in the stadium. It’s a wonderful marketing opportunity for us to brand the Tavern. On their end, the Broncos are excited about it because they’re trying to bring more of a local Colorado feel to the stadium. We’re a locally owned and operated company so it was a great fit for both of us.”
In addition to the new Tavern hangout located off Gate 4, Schultz is sponsoring the Broncos First Possession Payoff where a winner will receive $1,000 for every point that the Broncos score during their first offensive possession for all regular season home games.
“Last season when Tim Tebow was the quarterback, the Broncos only scored 18 points (the average annual total of all first offensive possession during the 2011 season’s home games) so I figured it was no big deal,” Schultz said. “Then they signed Peyton Manning!” But Schultz won’t shirk his obligation to the contest.
“The First Possession Payoff not only gives someone a chance to win $1,000 per point, but offers a Broncos VIP fan experience to stand on the sidelines and watch the Broncos warm up for up to an hour and a half before the game, and then to actually see them play up close and personal is pretty cool.”
