DENVER -- It's a fabulous night, with skies clear and the temperature at game-time 68 degrees. It's a far cry from last Sunday here, when it snowed.
That's the way the weather can be in Denver. I once covered a Patriots games here in late September when it snowed heavily, but I also remember sitting in the press box at Mile High Stadium in early January with the windows open at a Pats-Broncos playoff game in '87.
The windows are open in the press box tonight, which creates a much better atmosphere than watching the game behind a sheet of thick glass. It's much louder, but much better.
Mentioning Mile High reminds me that, on the way back to my hotel after Game Three, I heard Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll, Part 2" on the car radio. The first time I heard that song was at a Broncos game at Mile High, which literally rocked as the Denver fans stomped their feet and shouted ``Hey!" Later, the song came to be played at stadiums across America, and wasn't as exciting. But that first time, in Denver, was terrific.
