The Denver Broncos are generating a significant amount of excitement with the announcement of a potential new stadium that could be built by the beginning of the 2031 NFL season. The new arena is poised to have a retractable roof and a mixed-use area, all privately funded, at no cost to the Colorado taxpayer.

The Walton-Penner ownership group released a statement after submitting preliminary and conceptual development stadium plans to the city of Denver.

“The Large Development Review—alongside the Community Benefits Agreement and Small Area Plan—is an opportunity for the Denver Broncos to ensure the stadium and mixed-use community bring meaningful, lasting benefit to the area,” read the statement. “Our goal is to create a true local asset that expands access, improves quality of life and provides year-round impact for the broader neighborhood, metro area and visitors.”

From the outset of the announcement of this project, the Broncos have remained committed to transparency and the betterment of the city of Denver. “As our organization begins this process, we are in listen-first mode and remain deeply committed to collaborative, inclusive and transparent engagement,” the statement continued.

The team also released a preliminary sketch of the proposed stadium district. You can see the plans below.

There are also preliminary ideas to preserve the history of Burnham Yard, by reusing some of the old railroad staging areas as part of the beautification of the area.

The Broncos also launched a website to update fans and Coloradans on the stadium progress. Visit the site to read a little bit more about the stadium project, which is yet to break ground, and is in the preliminary stages at the moment.
