Broncos Push for Burnham Yard Stadium, Seek Community Support

On March 30th, the Denver Broncos are pushing hard to lock in Burnham Yard as their new stadium spot, but owner Greg Penner made it clear this.

Week, they can't do it alone.

At the NFL annual meeting, he stressed a knee for tight teamwork with community leaders and partners to hit their big deadline.

Since announcing Burnham Yard as the top choice back in September, the team has been grinding with civic folks, city council, the mayor, and even Denver Water to make it official.

Penner says they're getting closer, but flipping it from preferred to confirm sight means lining up every detail first.

On the people side, Penner shouted out his wife, Carrie Walton Penner, President Demani Leach, and General Counsel Tim Aragon for leading community, Chats.

The vibe is collaborative, with everyone bringing input to keep things smooth, especially protecting utilities like water service during the build.

No formal deals yet, but if the new 150-acre stadium isn't ready by 2031, they'll extend their lease at Empower Field at.

Mile high. Penner admits it's ambitious with all the competing interests, but support from outside groups has been solid so far.

Right now, they're on track toward that 2031 opening, balancing urgency with careful planning to get everyone on board for the long haul.
