| What Do Denver Broncos Fans Chant |
The Classics: Chants That Will Make You Feel Like You Belong
- "Let's go Broncos!" - This one's a no-brainer. It's the all-purpose chant, the "hello" of the stadium. It works for touchdowns, big defensive stops, heck, even when the hot dog vendor accidentally gives you ketchup instead of mustard (because who wants that?).
- "D-Fence! D-Fence!" - Mile High gets LOUD on third down, and this chant is the battle cry for the Denver defense. It's guaranteed to send shivers down the opposing quarterback's spine (or at least make him forget his audibles).
- "IN-COM-PLETE!" (After an opposing team's incomplete pass) - This one's a Denver tradition, specifically aimed at the team's rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs. It's a bit spicy, but oh-so-satisfying when it rings through the stadium.
Pro-Tip: Want to sound like a true Broncos die-hard? Practice that "IN-COM-PLETE!" chant beforehand. It's all about that enthusiastic, drawn-out "INNNNN."
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
When Things Get Fancy: Chants with a Little Extra Spice
- "We Dat Pony!" - This chant pays homage to the team's mascot, Miles the Mascot (a genuinely terrifying sight, but we love him anyway). It's perfect for those moments when the Broncos are pulling off something magical.
- "Shan-a-han! Shan-a-han!" (Chanting the coach's name) - This one is reserved for those truly electrifying plays. Think Peyton Manning throwing a perfect spiral for a touchdown, or the defense making a game-saving interception. Show some love for the coaching genius behind it all!
- "(Opposing Team's Nickname) Sucks!" (Replace with the actual nickname, of course) - Look, a little trash talk never hurt anyone (except maybe the opposing team's feelings). Just remember to keep it light and good-natured.
Word to the Wise: Avoid getting too personal with the opposing team's players. We're here for a good time, not a fight.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
Bonus Round: Chants You Might Hear (But Probably Shouldn't Start)
There are a few legendary (or infamous) Denver Broncos chants that you might hear sprinkled throughout the game. However, unless you're a seasoned fan with a strong understanding of Broncos lore, it's best to just listen and enjoy the show.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
 |
- "Elway! Elway!" (Chanting John Elway's name, the Broncos' legendary quarterback) - This one is reserved for the true Broncos greats, so show respect!
- Highly situational and often NSFW chants (You'll know them when you hear them) - These are the battle cries of the hardcore fans who have been through it all. Just smile, nod, and maybe bop your head along.
Remember: Broncos Country is a welcoming place, but it's always best to err on the side of caution with these.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
