I need help with a question from a contest that I am in.  I've seen
several searches on this particular question and have done a lot of
brainstorming myself but I just can't pin-point the answer.
Here it is:
It is said that in this establishment a handshake and 25,000 bucks
turned a group of wild "horses" loose on a field.

There are supposed to be clues within the clue.  Please help.  
Thanks in advance.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

"The lobby of the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Colo., was home to a
meeting in 1959 between Bob Howsam and Lamar Hunt where the details
for the purchase of a football franchise were hammered out. With a
simple handshake and a $25,000 check, the NFL's Denver Broncos were
born."

Thank you for your response.  The link you provided was not working
properly so I went onto the main page for the Brown Palace Hotel and
clicked on the fun facts link but could not find this info there. 
Also, I tried several other searches to verify this information but
could not find anything.  Are there any other possibilities out there.
 Thanks in advance for your help.
