Broncos fans react to Vic Fangio’s departure as head coach

DENVER (KDVR) – The search for a new head coach for the Broncos is underway. The group announced sack Vic Fangio Sunday morning.

For many Broncos fans, the firing of Coach Fangio came as no surprise; For some, it is even a relief.

There are still plenty of questions about ownership of the starting midfield and coaching staff, but one big topic of conversation from the Broncos’ main office has been from a business perspective: How do they attract people fans continue to come to the game and reduce the amount of “no-impressions” at the game?

Broncos CEO Joe Ellis said the team has averaged 10,000 absences per game this season, commenting on its efforts to lure fans back into the stands. Ellis admits fans are frustrated.

“We’re not the only team to get through that, but as you’ve all seen—[and] I’ve seen – that stadium when there’s electricity and it’s packed. We had to figure out a way to start showing our fans that they were coming back [to] Watch these games and get energized and excited about them,” Ellis said.

The pandemic has played a part in the lack of attendees, but the announcement is one of the key, uplifting ones for some upset fans.
