Before submitting a winning bid of $4.65 billion, Walmart heir Rob Walton and his son-in-law, Greg Penner, and Walton’s daughter, Carrie Penner, visited the Denver Broncos’ facility and met with various members of the team, including quarterback Russell Wilson.
“We’ve had some really good bonding moments just about life and success and visions and all the things that they wanted to do and how they wanted to impact the Broncos,” Wilson said on June 13. “They’re really, really about community which I’m super about.”
Wilson always emphasizes community impact and he says the team’s (pending) new ownership group feels the same way, so they’ll be a great fit for Denver. That’s obviously a very important aspect of the team, but fans naturally care about on-field results as well.
