Denver Bronchos de la NFL, on September 9, selected Burnham Yard as a place for a retractable roof stage, and opened in 2031, the team said in a joint letter with Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Gov. JARED POLIS.
Described in materials reviewed by Enr as “a world class place that anchors a district of mixed use throughout the year”, the club said that it would continue to play in its current house, Empower Field in Mile High, in an interim way.

This goal 2031 is aligned with the end of the lease of the team to Empower Field, which is relatively young in the years of sand. The current team’s house opened in August 2001 at a cost of more than $ 400 million at the Mile High original stadium, which opened in 1948 and was later devastated.
The public works identified so far are limited to the transport projects that the city has advanced for the General Obligations program “Vibrant de Denver” in the next vote on November 4. The city’s materials confirm that the package would be financed without adding new taxes.
The state bought the 58 -hectare Burnham Yard, an old Pacific Union installation, by $ 2021 for $ 50 million, as well as an additional $ 19.4 million in January 2025 for a servitude of goods and crawling through the site, according to the Colorado transport department.
Several outlets say the club has mounted or aligned additional plots. Sports Business Journal reported that the bronchos have reached “conceptual agreements” to buy “25 hectares at the southern end of the Denver Water campus” and that private acquisitions last year have the total footprint “more than 100 hectares.” Denver Post reports made the final price of the new facility at least $ 4 billion.
Early site work would include the relocation of services. In a statement issued on the day of the announcement, Denver Water said that the Stadium Plan would have to move several operations and maintenance facilities on the south side of its 2019 operations complex, maintaining the administration building in its place.
The utility said that the bronchos have agreed to pay “all the necessary costs” for their move, including the acquisition of properties, the work and the construction of the site, and that “the funds of water rates will not be used.” Denver Water added that he has identified possible new locations, including a larger place in 40a and Clayton.
The project list includes $ 89.2 million for the 8th avenue viaduct and multimodal improvements: the viaduct part to the east of the consolidated main line to reconnect the street network and $ 50 million for the 6th Avenue’s viaducts repairs, mobility and access improvements and improvements for a future replacement.
Axios Denver added that the alternative metro sites, including the lonely and Douglas county, were considered and finally rejected, and cited the CEO and Broncos owner, Greg Penner, who describe the bonds of the organization’s community as a factor.
Various key details are unknown, including the total cost of the project, the contract strategy, the design selections or the construction team, the seat capacity, the Premium program or a detailed phase plan for the approves of the site, the environmental review and the vertical construction.
ENR contacted the Broncos organization for more information, but did not receive a response before the press time.
