The bill was opposed by the Colorado Rockies, Colorado State University and the City of Denver.
None of Colorado's professional sports ownership groups testified against SB 171, nor did they respond to's requests for comment — except for the Denver Broncos, which declined to comment and didn't take an official position on the bill. However, Priola mentioned"offline conversations" several times throughout the hearing, and said that the majority of Colorado's major sports and entertainment players didn't respond to official inquiries from his office.
Ultimately, the committee voted 5 to 2 against the proposal. The majority of those who voted"no" said they were concerned about forcing venues to disallow certain items at seats, rather than allowing venue owners to implement such sections on their own. Some venues around the country have already set up substance-free areas. Coors Field, for example, has established section 342 as a designated family section, with no alcohol allowed. And approximately fourteen stadiums in the NFL have set up substance-free sections, according to Priola. However, many of these substance-free sections in NFL stadiums aren't seats at all, but concourse tables or meeting hallways, according to groups like Sober AF.
