This is impressive
I'm goin' down to South Park gonna have myself a time...
In case you were unaware, the creators of 'South Park', Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are huge fans of the Denver Broncos.
The IRL friends both grew up in Colorado and met at the University of Colorado, where they came up with the adult animated sitcom.
Now their fandom of the sports team has been repaid in kind.
The Broncos unveiled last weekend that they've added all the characters from the town of South Park to the crowd cutouts that now populate Empower Field at Mile High.
It makes plenty of sense since the characters in the show also love the Broncos. The sports team has gotten numerous shoutouts throughout the 23 seasons of the series.
There are over 1800 cutouts altogether, taking up five sections of the stadium.
In addition to the 5700 or so live socially distanced fans, the #Broncos will have the entire town of "South Park" in the stands today... pic.twitter.com/QN1cEKfQpa

The tribute comes ahead of the show's 'Pandemic Special', which will be an hour-long episode.
It marks the first special of the series and premieres this Wednesday on Comedy Central.
