Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has always been impressed with how Broncos Country travels on the road. Especially at SoFi Stadium, where the Broncos travel this week to play the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
“Man, it’s always a lot of fun,” said Sutton. “I think it’s hilarious, there’s always a point in the game that you hear the, ‘Let’s go Broncos.’ And it’s like – I don’t want to start no beef or nothing – but it’s always funny how another set of fans won’t really wanna like start that chant, until they hear Broncos Country hitting the chant. And it’s like one of those things where you can – it’s not like a little small corner of the stadium – it sounds like we in there, which we are.”

The Broncos have always had a strong showing of fans at opposing stadiums, always obvious on TV broadcasts because of their orange jerseys. Even at the Chargers’ previous homes, Qualcomm Stadium and (for a brief time from 2017-2019 while SoFi was being built) Dignity Health Sports Park, Denver fans showed up in droves to cheer on their team. In fact, SoFi Stadium is a place where opposing fans from across the league have routinely outnumbered the home team, so much so that the Los Angeles Rams (who share SoFi with the Chargers) had to use a silent snap count in several home games in 2023.
“It’s cool to be able to have that fanbase,” Sutton said, “and have Broncos Country travel the way that they do. … It’s cool to be able to know that, whatever stadium we go to, Broncos Country’s gonna be there, showing up, showing out, being loud and being rowdy and supporting us.”
The Broncos are going to need their fans this week, as they face the 2-0 Chargers on Sunday. The winner of that game could move into first place in the division going into Week 4.
