What the heck does this mean? Is the number 5280 just painted all over billboards in Denver?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pretty much. If you go to a Broncos game, you're going to see a graphic saying we're 5280 feet above sea-level at least a hundred times.

Edit: These are just some examples that in the non-public areas of the stadium to mess with opposing teams.

They're right. Altitude sickness is absolutely real. I live in CT pretty close to sea level. I hiked the flatirons in Boulder and puked my guts out when I came back down.

The first time I ever took a non-pressurized aircraft to 10,000 feet was an interesting experience. I noticed myself breathing...not heavier, that feels like the wrong word, because I had the opposite problem to "heavy." I needed to breathe noticeably deeper and faster just sitting still at the controls of the plane doing maybe slightly more work than typing this sentence. Somebody from a lower area going up to Denver (about half the altitude I flew to that day) to play a sport has an elevated chance of Not A Good Day.

You'd think the Rockies would have a better record but they somehow still consistently suck

Management has no incentive to field a competitive team. They are the worst team in baseball, haven’t been any good since 2007, and they are currently 9th in attendance, in a not-so-huge market.

At least the broncos are off.to.a good start

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Basically yes. We even have a local magazine called 5280.

[–] benderbeerman@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Sounds like they take their distances pretty seriously over there in the mile-high city

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So many businesses and shops are named 5280. Breweries, coffee shops, bars, transmission shops, interior design shops, animal hospitals, dry cleaners, bakeries…that number is plastered on signs and advertisements everywhere. 😂
