The legacy of the Denver Broncos has been long-standing in the state of Colorado. Like many in our state, I bleed orange and have been a huge fan of the Broncos for as long as I can remember.

For nearly a quarter of a century, the Denver Broncos have played at what still feels like a new stadium that opened up in August of 2001. Concerts, events, and many other occasions have also happened at what is known as Empower Field at Mile High.
That could soon change.
Broncos Announce Plans for a New Stadium
An announcement from the owners of the Denver Broncos has brought to light a possibility of a new location for the home of the Denver Broncos. The letter, signed by Broncos owners Greg Penner, Carrice Walton Penner, the mayor of the City of Denver, Mike Johnston, and Colorado's Governor, Jared Polis, outlines the future for the stadium for the Denver Broncos with some big changes in the coming years.

One of the biggest changes we could see with a stadium of this magnitude is a retractable roof stadium. A feature such as this would open the possibility of Denver, Colorado, being able to host a Super Bowl game in the future, as well as other world-class events.
Funded Without New Taxes
What's more is that the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group would be funding this endeavor with no new taxes on Coloradans. The proposed area for the new stadium for the Denver Broncos would be a dynamic mixed-use district that would ensure benefits extend far beyond game days for the Broncos and other events held at the stadium.
Target Location: Burnham Yard
The targeted completion for the new stadium located in the Burnham Yard area, just southeast of Interstate 25 and Colfax, is before the 2031 NFL season. As a Denver Broncos fan, this is certainly exciting news, not only for the possibility of a new stadium but for Colorado as a whole. See the full release on Facebook.
