How the Denver Broncos Improve Player Safety in Steam Rooms with Slip-Resistant Treatments

There are seasons that quietly reset expectations — and then there are seasons that remind a city what hope feels like again.

This past year, watching the Denver Broncos put together a gritty, momentum-building run was genuinely exciting. Comeback wins. Physical football. Games that mattered deep into the season. Week after week, it felt like Broncos Country was watching something click — the kind of progress that makes you believe a Super Bowl run isn’t a fantasy, just a matter of time.

While fans were riding that energy on Sundays, there was just as much focus happening behind the scenes — especially when it came to player health, recovery, and safety.

Why Steam Rooms Matter More Than Most People Realize

In professional football, recovery is everything. Steam rooms play a huge role in muscle relaxation, circulation, and injury prevention — but they also create one of the most slip-prone environments in any facility.

Constant moisture. Condensation. Smooth tile surfaces.
It’s the perfect storm for slips if not addressed properly.

That’s why the Broncos took a proactive approach: identifying slippery surfaces in steam and recovery areas and improving traction without changing the look, feel, or function of the space. The goal wasn’t to make the room feel industrial or intrusive — it was to make it safer in a way players would never even notice.

No coatings.
No downtime.
No disruption to the recovery routine.

Just better footing when surfaces are wet — exactly when it matters most.

Safety Is Part of a Winning Culture

Great teams sweat the details. The same mindset that shows up in late-game drives and defensive stops shows up in how facilities are maintained. A slip in a steam room doesn’t make headlines, but it can absolutely change a season — and preventing those moments is part of building a sustainable, high-performance environment.

Being able to support that effort during a season filled with meaningful wins and renewed optimism made the work especially rewarding. Like many fans, we felt the disappointment at the end — but it was the kind of disappointment that comes with expectation, not resignation. And that’s a good place to be.

Looking Ahead

This season reminded Denver what progress looks like. It reminded fans, players, and organizations that foundations matter — whether it’s a young roster finding its stride or a facility investing in safety where it counts.

We’re proud to have played a small, behind-the-scenes role in keeping players safe during a season that gave this city a lot to be excited about. And like everyone else in Broncos Country, we’re already looking forward to what comes next — steady footing, upward momentum, and eyes firmly on the future.
