The team said that for the third straight year they have replaced the playing field during the season in the interest of player safety.

Replacing the field took 14 truckloads of Kentucky bluegrass from a turf farm in Platteville.

It took crews 36 hours to install the sod. During the day on Wednesday crews were painting lines on the field.

The Broncos face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon in Denver.
