"We're working on a couple of direct flights that we want to land with Air Europe before I leave office. And of course, being a Broncos fan, this is no greater way to market our city, our state, and our region than to be here and see our team on the international stage," said Hancock.

"I wanted to celebrate the Broncos season. And I know there are a lot of naysayers this year. A lot of people are down. But I wear huge orange color glasses, I view the world through that prism, and I wanted to be here on a special day. I wanted to be at Wembly (Stadium). I wanted to see my team do something special," said one fan who made the trip from Colorado.
