The Denver Gold has everything it needs for the inaugural season of the United States Football League except somewhere to play.

Gold owner Ron Blanding met Tuesday with Mayor Bill McNichols and Joe Ciancio, manager of Denver's Parks and Recreation Department, to discuss a lease for use of Mile High Stadium.

Miller has been in San Diego to look for prospective sites for a February training camp and Blanding said at least 9,500 individuals and businesses have indicated they want tickets to Gold games.


Blanding also said some players already have signed letters of intent to play on the Denver team.
