Legendary Broncos tailgate bus ‘The Orange Crush’ is up for sale

If you’ve ever tailgated at Empower Field at Mile High, there’s a decent chance you’ve seen it — or heard it, or smelled the grill smoke billowing from it. The Orange Crush, one of Denver’s most famous Broncos-themed party buses, is officially for sale.

The owner posted the listing to the bus’ Facebook page this week with the kind of emotional honesty usually reserved for selling a childhood home: “I can’t believe I’m actually posting this, but it’s time.” What started as an old shuttle bus was transformed over the years into a custom Broncos tailgate coach — painted head to toe in orange and blue, decked out for game day, and a fixture of the Empower Field parking lot scene for years. The asking price: $20,000 or best offer, serious inquiries only.

For Broncos fans who’ve built their entire personality around game day, this is essentially the Sistine Chapel of tailgating going on the open market. The bus has its own Facebook following, has shown up at Super Bowl watch parties and road trips, and is the kind of over-the-top fan commitment that makes Broncos Country what it is.

With the Broncos eyeing a new stadium at Burnham Yard in the coming years, whoever buys this bus won’t just be purchasing a vehicle — they’ll be investing in a rolling piece of Denver sports history that could christen a brand new parking lot.

So, if you’ve got $20K, a CDL (or a friend with one) and an undying love for the orange and blue, your chariot awaits.
