Broncos File First City Application for Burnham Yard Stadium and District

The filing triggers Denver’s Large Development Review for a privately funded, retractable-roof venue integrated into a new mixed-use neighborhood.

Overview

  • The team submitted a Large Development Review pre-application on Nov. 5, formally starting city review of its concept to redevelop Burnham Yard into a new stadium and surrounding district.
  • Early plans call for a retractable-roof stadium on the site’s western edge, with restaurants, retail, housing, offices and year-round public spaces funded privately by the Broncos.
  • The organization targets a 2031 opening and outlined preliminary milestones, including an infrastructure master plan in early 2026, a site development plan by mid‑2026, and building permits projected in 2027.
  • Public engagement begins with an open house on Nov. 19 at La Alma Recreation Center, and the team has launched a project website and named Sasaki as its master-planning partner.
  • Related groundwork is advancing as Denver Water moves to relocate operations with $53 million in property purchases and a new campus plan, costs to be reimbursed by the Broncos, shortly after voters approved the $140 million Vibrant Denver bond for nearby bridge work.
