  • THE PAUL D. BOWLEN

    MEMORIAL BRONCOS CENTRE

    On March 5, 1990, the Denver Broncos moved into the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre,the state-of-the-art headquarters for the National Football League team. The complex is named for theBroncos owners late father and is the culmination of Pat Bowlens desire to maximize a positive work-

    ing environment for his footballteam, which captured back-to-backWorld Championships with victoriesin Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII.

    During the offseasons leading upto the 2004 and 2005 campaigns, theBroncos made significant upgradesto the facility to make it one of theelite training centers in all of profes-sional sports.

    The Broncos spent much of the2005 offseason completely renovat-ing and redesigning their lockerroom while adding several state-of-the-art features to the spacious area.The club installed brand new maple-

    wood lockers that are 8.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. All locker stalls include power and data outlets thatprovide high-speed Internet access. Additionally, the general layout of the locker room was enhancedto bring offensive and defensive players closer together while at the same time efficiently utilizing thesize of the area.

    This improvement in 2005 came one year after the club invested $4 million to the facility in anexpansion project that significantly upgraded several areas of the complex. That construction pro-ject included:

    The Broncos Conditioning Center, which houses the teams weight room and an indoor condition-ing area along with a new home for the field-maintenance departments. The weight room is near-ly three times the size of the previous one at approximately 9,000 square feet, which gives theBroncos one of the most comfortable strength-and-conditioning environments in professionalsports. The indoor conditioning areacovered with FieldTurf, which the team also uses on oneof its three outdoor practice fieldsspans approximately 18,000 square feet.

    A training room that increased in size with additional hot and cold tubs for players use. An eating lounge that seats approximately 120, allowing the team to conveniently handle the

    food-service needs of players, coaches and staff during training camp and throughout the year.The lounge is part of the existing building, taking over the space previously occupied by theweight room.

    The Broncos facilitysituated on 13.5 acres in the rapidly ex panding Dove Valley Business Park insouth Arapahoe Countyalso includes an administrative building and three full-size practice fields togo along with the Conditioning Center.

    The Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre is a two-story building totaling 90,000 square feet, well overthree times the size of the teams previous facility. The ground floor houses the main entry, visitorsarea, trophy display area and media room in addition to the football-related facilities, which encompassthe locker room, meeting rooms, training area, equipment room and video department.

    It is on the second level, which is accessible through two stairways adjacent to the lobby area, thatmost of the administrative offices are located. These include the offices for Pat Bowlen, Joe Ellis, JohnElway and John Fox as well as those of all assistant coaches and football operations personnel. Thesecond floor is divided into one wing for administrative offices and another for coaches and player per-sonnel. The Broncos extensive computer operation also is located on the second floor. The BowlenMemorial Broncos Centre also includes a separate building that houses two racquetball courts for train-ing and leisure use by players and staff members as well as a team store.

    There is ample practice space available for use by the Broncos on the three outdoor fieldstwo withnatural grass surfaces and one with FieldTurf, completed in June 2003. FieldTurf is a synthetic bladesurface with a rubber and sand infill. Both of the grass fields have a unique design system that includesunderground tubing to prevent the turf from freezing and thus allows the Broncos to practice year-round on unfrozen natural grass.

    Completed in the spring of 2004, the Broncos state-of-the-art conditioning center is adjacentto the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre. The weight room is approximately 9,000square feet, nearly three times the size of the previous one, and affords the football team and itsstrength-and-conditioning staff one of the finest training facilities in all of professional sports.

    PRACTICE FIELDS

    On site are two, full-size natural grass practice fields as well as both indoor and outdoorFieldTurf fields that the Broncos utilize during training camp and throughout the season. Theindoor field, located within the Broncos Conditioning Center, spans approximately 18,000 square feet.

    The outdoor fields underwent a $2.4 million-dollar renovation in 2013 that added a new soil heat-ing system and sod in addition to the construction of a pump house to facilitate water circulation foryear-round grass viability.

    Pat Bowlen enters his 30th year as Owner and Chief Executive Officer ofthe Denver Broncos in 2013, and his tenure of ownership is indeliblystamped as one of the most successful periods for any team in NationalFootball League history.

    The longest-tenured owner of a major league sports team in Colorado his-tory, Mr. Bowlen presides over a franchise that is one of the crown jewelsamong NFL clubs. By any definition, the Broncos are at the pinnacle of pro-

    fessional sports franchises.The Denver Broncos are the soul of the city, Mr. Bowlen serves as the owner and steward of this

    sterling franchise, and the legend of both team and owner are marked by achievement and successat every level. Whether judged by the measure of wins and championships, attendance, nationaltelevision exposure, or by his and the Broncos reputation locally and throughout the NFL, there arefew parallels in the world of professional sports.

    The Broncos have grown from being Denvers first major league franchise in 1960 to Coloradosstate religion, and Mr. Bowlens focus in 2013 is to bring another World Championship to the RockyMountain region.

    His status and reputation as an owner were recognized within the state in 2007 when Mr. Bowlenwas inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. Most recently, he received the 2013 MizelInstitute Community Enrichment Award, the regions most prestigious philanthropic accolade, forhis community leadership and unwavering commitment to the city of Denver and state of Colorado.

    The Broncos CEO has fashioned a powerful reputation among his peers as a bold, dynamicleader who is single-minded in his pursuit of excellence, whether representing the Broncos, the cityof Denver, the state of Colorado or the National Football League. He presides over a franchise thatby any standard has been one of the NFLs most successful in his nearly three decades of club own-ership (1984-present).

    One of the only three-decade owners in professional sports history with a .600 winning percent-age, Mr. Bowlen has guided the Broncos to more than 10 wins per season in his 29 years of own-ership. Denvers 292 overall victories, including 276 regular-season wins, rank third in the NFL (2ndin the AFC) during that span. The Broncos five Super Bowl appearances, including back-to-backSuper Bowl wins during the 1997-98 seasons, under Mr. Bowlen are tied for the second-highesttotal in the league.

    Denver also is the only team to post at least 90 wins in each of the last three decades while fin-ishing with the fewest losing seasons (5) in the NFL since Mr. Bowlen became owner in 1984.

    In addition, Denvers 286 national television appearances under Mr. Bowlen are the most in theleague. That total includes a league-high 165 prime-time games as well as 121 appearances as partof network doubleheaders.

    For many years, Mr. Bowlens reputation as an outstanding owner has been well known nation-ally as he is held in the highest regard by fans, players, coaches, his peers and NFL executives. In1987, he finished second in The Sporting News Executive of the Year balloting. In December 2000,ESPN conducted a fan poll asking which NFL owner would be the best for which to play. Mr. Bowlenfinished first among all NFL owners with 44.7 percent of the more than 60,000 votes cast.

    Pat Bowlen was introduced as the majority owner of the Denver Broncos on March 23, 1984, andthat announcement triggered a new era in franchise history. Mr. Bowlen and the Bowlen familyacquired 100 percent ownership of the Broncos in July 1985, and currently his brother John Bowlenowns a minority interest in the Broncos.

    Mr. Bowlen immediately put his own mark on the Broncos, establishing a solid administrationand creating a positive atmosphere that was a major factor in the teams success both on and offthe field.

    Champions are built from the top, and Pat Bowlen is a model of leadership in the scope of hisdrive and commitment. I want us to be number one in everything, Mr. Bowlen has often said in arecurring theme that marks his management style. Everyone knows that it is the owner who pro-vides the financial backing that is integral to a championship team, but many fans are unaware thatmuch of the heart, soul and drive of this championship organization come directly from Pat Bowlen.

    JOE ELLIS

    PRESIDENT

  • John Elway, a dynamic leader with experience guiding organizations to WorldChampionships as both a player and executive, enters his third season asExecutive Vice President of Football Operations for the Denver Broncos in 2013.He was named to that position by Owner Pat Bowlen on Jan. 5, 2011.

    Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame following a magnificent 16-yearcareer as a quarterback with the Broncos from 1983-98 that included five SuperBowl appearances and two World Championships, Elway is responsible for over-

    seeing all football operations initiatives for the Broncos. He directs all aspects of the teams player acqui-sition process, including college scouting research related to the NFL Draft along with pro personnelefforts related to free agency and trades.

    Bringing a competitive and experienced football acumen to Dove Valley, Elway has infused the clubsfootball operations with a winning culture and a positive approach toward building a championship team.He holds final say on all football-related matters while reporting directly to Bowlen and President Joe Ellis.

    Inheriting a Broncos team that finished 4-12 in 2010, Elway oversaw an improvement to an 8-8 markand an AFC West Division title in 2011 followed by a 13-3 record and the AFCs No. 1 seed in 2012. Thatdramatic turnaround made Elway the first executive in the Super Bowl era to lead a four-win improve-ment and deliver a division title in each of his first two years with a team.

    Elways vision and aggressive approach toward free agency and the NFL Draft have guided theBroncos unprecedented progress in his two seasons as the clubs lead football executive. His accom-plishments were recognized nationally in 2012 when he finished second in The Sporting News Executiveof the Year voting.

    The Broncos 2012 campaign, which included 11 consecutive victories by at least seven points to endthe regular season, was marked by Elways acquisition of quarterback Peyton Manning, the NFLs onlyfour-time Most Valuable Player. Regarded as the top free-agency acquisition in NFL history, Manning fin-ished the year as runner-up for the Associated Press NFL MVP award and was named Comeback Playerof the Year.

    Elways impact on the roster was far-reaching in 2012 as he was responsible for drafting, signing orextending the contracts for 23 of the 33 players who started for the Broncos. Included in that total washis first draft pick as an executivelinebacker Von Millerwho followed up his NFL Defensive Rookieof the Year campaign by being named to his second consecutive Pro Bowl and finishing second in vot-ing for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

    During his first year in his new role, Elway immediately made his mark as an NFL executive by guid-ing the Broncos to an historic turnaround in 2011. He assembled a team that became only the third sincethe 1970 NFL merger to win its division and a playoff game with a new head coach following four orfewer wins the previous season.

    Elways initial decision leading the Broncos football operations was hiring widely respected NFL vet-eran John Fox as the 14th head coach in team history on Jan. 13, 2011. Fox proved to be the perfect fitfor the Broncos, finishing third in the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year voting after helping thefranchise earn its first AFC West title and playoff victory in six seasons.

    In terms of personnel, Elways first order of business after being named executive vice president offootball operations was the re-signing of cornerback Champ Bailey, who has since made consecutive ProBowls to bring his career total to 12, marking the most by a defensive back in NFL history. He also signedrunning back Willis McGahee before the 2011 season as the veteran went on to lead the NFLs No. 1 rush-ing attack with 1,199 yards en route to his second career Pro Bowl selection.

    Other notable additions by Elway who made positive contributions in 2012 included unrestricted freeagents Joel Dreessen and Jacob Tamme (tight ends) as well as street free agents Brandon Stokley (widereceiver), Dan Koppen (center) and Keith Brooking (linebacker).

    Of Denvers 16 draft selections made in two years under Elway, 15 of them finished the 2012 seasonwith the Broncos in some capacity. Additionally, four college free agents during the last two years haveappeared on the clubs active roster, including cornerback Chris Harris, who in 2013 was named theNFLs Most Underrated Player by CBSSports.com.
