Broncos Fill Stands With "South Park" Cutouts for Bucs Game

Characters from the animated series "South Park" made up "more than 1,800 cutouts" in the seats of the south stands at Empower Field at Mile High for yesterday's Buccaneers-Broncos game, and it was a "big hit on social media." The Broncos' marketing department "reached out to Comedy Central and South Park Studios about buying cut-outs of the characters," and the effort "raised $130,000 to be dispersed to local charities" (ESPN.com, 9/27). Show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are from Colorado and are "avid Broncos fans." They have "often mentioned" the team on the series, which kicks off its 24th season Wednesday (DENVER POST, 9/28). See a photo gallery from the DENVER POST.
