The warning comes after more than 11 inches of snow came down on the stadium, creating some challenges for stadium personnel who were working tirelessly over the weekend to have the accumulated snow removed and the stadium walkways deiced for game day. 

Patrick Smyth, a spokesperson for the Broncos, tweeted a few photos on Saturday, showing a blanket of white powder covering the seats and the stadium aisles, but said the stadium was "in good shape."

The snow-removal efforts caused Mile High Monument to be closed Sunday for fans, Smyth said on Twitter.
