Jan 11, 2025
DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Broncos fans heading to Buffalo, New York for the Wild Card playoff game were met with a fun surprise at their Denver International Airport gate.
After the Broncos clinched the playoffs with a shutout win against the Kansas City Chiefs, United Airlines decided to add a direct flight to Buffalo for all the Broncos fans. FOX31 stopped by gate B13 before those fans took off Saturday morning.
The gate was decked out in orange and blue. Denver Broncos Cheerleaders and mascot Miles met fans and took pictures. They also had Broncos trivia, with Broncos gear as prizes.

Fans, like Santis Tevin, had high hopes, even during the Chiefs game. He and his friends bought their playoff tickets during halftime with faith they would clinch.
"Ready to get to Buffalo and see the culture that they have there," Tevin said.
His fellow traveler, Kyle Johnson, said he knew he had to make the trek to Buffalo to see Bo Nix and, "to see Broncos defense shut down Bills Mafia."
His wife, Randi, was just as excited.
"I've never been to any away game before, so I am stoked to see them hopefully win," she said.
Each seat on the flight had Broncos towels and goodies, as well.
