There was a fire at the Denver Broncos football stadium.

In photos published by the fire brigade, flames several meters high could be seen in the stands.

According to information from the US news agency AP on Thursday (local time), there were no injuries in the fire, which destroyed several rows of seats and caused massive damage over an area of ​​more than 90 square meters.

The cause of the fire in the NFL arena was initially unclear.

At the time of the fire, around 100 people were reportedly at an event in the stadium, but on a different level.

The NFL is on hiatus and the next season won't start until fall.

The Broncos finished last season in last place in the AFC West.

Coach Nathaniel Hackett's team won seven games and lost ten.

Kansas City is about 1000 kilometers east of Denver.

Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt recently underscored the importance of the German market to the National Football League.

"The road to Germany is a very big and important story for the NFL as a whole and for us at the Chiefs too.

We didn't secure the marketing rights to do a bit here and there.

Germany is extremely important to us," Hunt told Internet provider Spox.

The NFL had announced that Munich would share four main round games in the world's best football league with Frankfurt over the next four years.

As one of the two teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with quarterback Tom Brady, who keeps playing furiously, have already been confirmed for the first NFL game in Germany this fall.

Whether the Chiefs are also there is still open.

"If it's not that far this year, then definitely next year.

We don't know yet.

Patrick Mahomes is really looking forward to coming to Germany.

See you soon, that's my message to all fans in Germany," said Hunt.

Hunt, for whom Bayern legend Franz Beckenbauer was one of his first great sports heroes, is also happy about the cooperation with FC Bayern Munich.

“This is an incredible joy and experience for me.

It doesn't matter whether it's Franz Beckenbauer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge or Uli Hoeneß, they are all such great personalities with so much know-how," said Hunt.

They made sure that FC Bayern “remains a big family” despite the rise to a big club in the world.

Whether players, coaches or employees, everyone feels part of the Bayern family.

This approach unites us, it is also very important to us with the Chiefs.”
