Not just for myself, but for our staff and also for our fans. A stadium is a signature opportunity and moment to do that and be a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You talk to other colleagues who\u2019ve been involved in stadium projects, and they talk about it. It\u2019s transformational for their career. It\u2019s a special moment. Given the life cycle of a stadium, you\u2019re lucky if you get a chance to be a part of it just once in your career. So that alone is pretty exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team&#8217;s current stadium lease runs through the 2030 season, and it usually takes <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/broncos-feel-healthy-amount-pressure-090300893.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:about four years;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">about four years<\/a> to build a stadium. So if Denver opts to build a stadium from scratch, a decision might arrive soon. Leech will be eager to be at the forefront of that project, should the team decide to take that step.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/broncos\/2019\/08\/03\/denver-broncos-famous-fans-celebrities-include-paul-george-amy-adams\/79446413007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Broncos Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/broncos\/2025\/05\/26\/broncos-damani-leech-excited-stadium-project\/83852865007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Denver Broncos: Leech excited about possibility of stadium project;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Denver Broncos: Leech excited about possibility of stadium project<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Denver Broncos have not ruled out staying at Empower Field at Mile High, but there has been&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80051,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2062],"tags":[232,7533,231,258,2426,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-80050","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-denver-broncos","8":"tag-broncos","9":"tag-broncos-fans","10":"tag-denver","11":"tag-denver-broncos","12":"tag-denverbroncos","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114573862875955899","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80050\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
