Colorado High School Helmet Wall at Sports Authority Field at Mile High

[roxfan00]

So this is new at Sports Authority Field...

The Denver Broncos and Sports Authority Field at Mile High honor Colorado high school football with the unveilng of the High School Helmet Wall, located on the stadium's main concourse level at Gate 8 across from section 126 on the main concourse. Once complete, this public display will include a football helmet from each of the 287 public and private high school football programs in the state.

As of November 2013, the display includes the helmets from 186 programs out of a total of 287. I

I like how they're theming the colors to the Colorado state flag to the best of their ability.

So many? Really?

Eagles (twice), Rams, K-State, Florida State (twice), Purdue.... So that's seven out of 186 that I can make out. Could be MUCH worse.

Also Missouri, West Virginia, Oregon, Clemson, Georgia, Washington State (old logo), Washington, Rice, North Dakota St, Wyoming, Texas Tech, Fresno St, Broncos, Chargers....

I still think the idea is awesome though.

I like the use of the Colorado state flag in the background. Also there is only 287 football schools in Colorado?

I didn't notice that until you mentioned it. Very nice.

The Minnesota Wild and Xcel Energy Center do something similar, but with high school hockey sweaters.

All of the high school's have a jersey and they hang them around the concourses.

They could call it the "Wall of Trademark Infringement." Here, a lawyer can see all the material at once, making litigation just a little quicker.

So do they plan to update whenever teams make a change to their helmets?

If the schools in Colorado change at the rate of schools around here, that's gonna be one bear of a job to keep up with. I hope They have a staff guy JUST in charge of keeping up with this. (I'm conveniently available)

5th row from the top, 5th helmet from the right (next to the Bulldogs)--is that the unused Jacksonville Jaguars logo that would have prompted litigation with the car manufacturer?

I would make it the school's responsibility to provide the helmet. Otherwise, the Broncos are making 287 phone calls every Fall.

Wonder if they ask the schools to send in the helmets to them? Or if they just go right to the manufacturer and buy one? The helmets all look pretty clean so I'm guessing the schools arent donating old ones to them

While Colorado is fairly big, in both population and size, the majority of the population is concentrated in a handful of urban areas (Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins). And a large amount of the state is mountain and rural dead zones. The few populous mountain/farm towns normally share high schools with the neighboring towns in the same county. There is also a substantial amount of private/charter schools that don't field football teams.

If not, it looks pretty close.

This was on the Sports Authority Field at Mile High website

If your school is not yet represented, please contact the Broncos' Bobby Mestas at Bobby.Mestas@Broncos.NFL.net to provide a helmet which can be included in the display.
