When asked why the Raiders lead the AFC West heading into Monday night's game, Shanahan emphasized their ability to minimize mistakes and, more importantly, keep their cool. For all their improvements, the Raiders remain at the mercy of Shanahan, who went 8-12 in his forgettable stint as Oakland's coach in the late '80s. An Oakland victory would virtually eliminate Denver from the AFC West race, but the Raiders learned five years ago that leading the division after 10 games does not guarantee a postseason appearance. That means a lot of parking and traffic headaches. The Avs fans can park at the Pepsi Center and at spaces at Six Flags Elitch Gardens.
Parking is limited for football fans, because of construction at the new stadium.
Broncos fans can park at the Auraria Campus. Fans can also use the light rail, which stops at the south end of Auraria Campus. It is about a 10 to 20 minute walk to the Pepsi Center and Mile High Stadium. 9NEWS has a special edition of the Broncos Huddle Monday night. It is going to be live from Mile High Stadium.
