SAN FRANCISCO (CBS4)- Golden Gate National Park is the most-visited national park in the country. It covers an expanse of more than 80,000 acres. And in control of it all? A huge Denver Broncos fan.

Unlike the Tony Bennett song, "I left my heart in San Francisco" Chris Lehnerts says she left hers in Colorado.

Lehnerts is the Superintendent of Golden Gate National Park. She oversees hundreds of employees and all the property from the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz. If you work for her you have no choice but to love the Broncos.

"Since I am the number one supervisor, the number one 'Hooha' in this park I kind of get the authority to tell 'em to love the Broncos," said Lehnerts.

And she doesn't call the Golden Gate Bridge golden. She calls it Broncos orange.

Lehnerts believes that it's no coincidence that for Super Bowl 50, the park service is celebrating its centennial. She thinks this just adds to the notion the Broncos will win. She said it's going to be a close game… three points is her prediction But she says, the Broncos will make it happen.
