10:07 pm
peyton afterwards, is this your last game? is this your last rodeo. and he said, i don't know yet. >> we figured he wasn't going to answer. do we think so? i think what a better way to go out than win a super bowl, hoist the trophy. you can't go out any better way that that. i'm assuming that that's problem it. it was fun to watch it. gosh, he's one of your best friends, but to see him lift that lombardi trophy like elway did. `o see elway lift it and say this is for pat. we've got plenty more coming up. aaron aaderson got to many good interviews. >> super bowl l livvd up to the hype after two weeks of waiting. the broncos and panthers, they got down to business. the broncos going for their third world championship. peyton manning, a career 1-3 in

10:13 pm
we are back live at levi stadium. the home, the site of super bowl l, where the broncos made history tonight. it was a great night at levi stadium. so many fans were lucky to be inside. you were talking with some of the fans who got to see everything first hand, marshall. >> reporter: we just saw one of the fans walk by, it was actually a carolina fan. golden state warrior steph curry. fortunately for us, he's on the wrong side of this game. inside those seats, where they're now sitting empty, i was able to capture what it's like for the fans, like this one in the steve atwater jersey, i was able to see what it's like to see the super bowl from one of those seats. we told you how expensive it is to go to the super bowl. this is what it looks like if
10:14 pm
buy a seat for an ungodly amount of money. >> the view is pretty bad ass actually. we got to see everything. >> reporter: inside levi stadium where the beer was $13, and the food was crab, the broncos were well represented. more than half the stadium cheering for the good guys. with the score 3-0, this is what it looked, and sounded like when von mmller stripped the ball, and malik jackson scored.

10:15 pm
`o! yeah! >> oh, my god! >> reporter: denver broncos, super bowl champions. one of the strangest things i saw was right outside the stadium after that sign that says super bowl l champions went up, there were people holding signs that said $20 for a ticket stub. these guys were trying to buy the super bowl tickets so they can probably put it on ebay later on, or sell it for twice as much. if you had one of those tickets, if you're sitting inside that stadium, you'll want to hold onto that great memorabilia. anne. >> thank you, marshall the sports guys are inside the locker room, where you know the part is just getting started. you'll hear from john elway. >> looking forward to it. thanks anne. we want to check back in with mark stewart, he's on market
10:16 pm
fans were behaving themselves, is it still pretty calm? are they behaving down there? >> reporter: molly, we're on a rooftop on 20th and market. take a look below. the crowd ii still very large and loud. i would describe it as feisty. nothing too violent. although about 20, 30 minutes ago, someone was lighting fireworks into the crowd. at this point, denver police are restricting access into down downtown denver. we've also just received word from rtd that all stops along the downtown corridor are now closed. yoo can see people here for the most part are having a good time dancing, yelling go broncos. but police are nearby on the ready. intersections are being blocked, and that obviously will become a problem. it's not clear, though, if and when police will move in, however, it's pretty cold outside.
10:17 pm
into the 20s, so that perhaps may serve as the biggest remedy of all. again, though, molly, the message from denver police from us to you is to stay home. they've closed all access into the city at least temporarily. >> i just hope that that couple you showed us keep their clothes on when they're dancing with each other. let's head into stacy johnson with your first alert forecast. i was just tweeting about the temperature being, at least the windchill being at 1 below zero right now. it looks like it's going to be a very cold night tonight. but this afternoon and this evening, we had just a few high clouds moving across the area. it's really been beautiful for us the last few days. our highs only in the 40s, but that temperature dropped like a rock this afternoon and into this evening as well. now we have our windchill factors that are factoring into the chilly weather. cold night tonight. more sunshine in store for us tomorrow, and a spring-like
10:18 pm
look at this. only 19 degrees now in denver, and our winds 17 miles an hour. so it feels like it's 1 below zero at this point. 41degrees our official high today. normally, we should be at 45, and 27 our low last night. it wasn't quite as cold last night as it will be tonight. here are the current windchills. single digits and below zero temperaturessacross the state. the winds have been picking up from the front range, around 20 to 25 miles per hour at times. so for the most part, the western half of the u.s. is very quiet right now. of course, great broncos win tonight, and there's a cold front that will kind of dip down across eastern colorado, and that's going to fall apart, and will warm things up into the next few days. temperatures in the teens and single digits from the front rank, to the plains tonight. tomorrow, we'll warm it back up into the 40s and 50s for our area. overnight, we'll have lows in the teens with partly cloudy skies. tomorrow, we'll be back up to should be beautiful, with
