Will the Broncos luck rub off on Obama?

HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE

Barack Obama sure knows how to pick a home field. When he decided to make his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination, could he have known he was stepping into one of the NFL’s top stadiums for the home team?

Since Invesco Field at Mile High opened in 2001, the Denver Broncos have amassed a home record of 40-16.

Their home dominance even extends to the preseason in August (when Obama will give his speech to conclude the Democratic National Convention), when they’ve gone 10-4.
