The Broncos aren’t playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday, but Denver will be well represented as longtime Colorado sports voice Alan Roach will handle public address announcing duties for the big game, as he has for most of the last nineteen years.
Roach has served as the PA announcer for all of Denver’s major professional sports teams except the Denver Nuggets over the years, though he currently only works for the Avalanche and Colorado Rapids. His distinctive booming voice is recognizable to even non-sporty Coloradans as the voice of the Denver International Airport train announcements, too.
Attending bucket-list sporting events like the Super Bowl and the Olympics, for which he has served as a PA announcer in hockey, makes Roach feel truly blessed. Even while preparing for his seventeenth Super Bowl, Roach says the excitement is the same.
