First-of-its-kind event will be featured at Denver Broncos’ first two home games
505 Southwestern (505SW™), the country’s leading Hatch Valley flamed roasted green chile brand, together with Coca-Cola and the Denver Broncos, announced today that they will host a tailgate party event before the first two regular-season games at Empower Field that will feature the world’s largest portable green chile roaster. Admission to this event is free and attendees will enjoy fresh-roasted Hatch Valley green chile, Coca-Cola products, and samples of green chile nachos (while supplies last). The tailgate event is open to the public and will take place next to the Mane Street tailgating area on the south side of the stadium.
“Colorado loves fresh, flame-roasted green chiles, and we’re proud to offer this unique tailgate experience for Broncos fans,” said Sam Carson, President of 505 Southwestern. “We are certain we’ll be the only game in the country with this sort of experience.”
At over 10 feet tall, the world’s largest portable chile roaster is a sight to be seen and can roast 2,500 pounds of green chile every hour.
505 Southwestern’s sister brand, Young Guns, will operate the chile roaster and will deliver fresh green chiles from the Hatch Valley region of New Mexico. “My family has been growing green chiles in Hatch for five generations, and we’re proud to bring this unique experience to Denver,” added Chris Franzoy, President of Young Guns.
Rob Holland, Executive Chairman of the company added, “For five straight seasons 505SW has been an official partner of the Denver Broncos and we’ve brought our world famous green chile, salsa, and chips to fans inside and outside of the stadium. We are excited to take our creativity with the Broncos and Coca-Cola to the next level with this unique fan experience.”
Coca-Cola’s Mobile Music Tailgate experience will also join the fun featuring a massive 100% solar powered interactive Boombox built out of a recycled shipping container. The unit itself boasts a rooftop deck, professional DJ equipment, neon photo booth, oversized cornhole boards, and more. Broncos’ fans can also sample Coca-Cola Zero Sugar as well as the newest Coke Creation, Dreamworld.
