Denver Picks Burnham Yard as Preferred Site for New Broncos Stadium With Retractable Roof

The Walton‑Penner group proposes a privately financed, multi‑billion‑dollar stadium at the state‑owned railyard with environmental cleanup.

Overview

  • Mayor Mike Johnston, the Broncos and state officials named Burnham Yard as the potential home for a future NFL venue on Sept. 9.
  • The state purchased the 58‑acre former railyard in 2021, and CDOT has begun steps to sell the property near La Alma/Lincoln Park and Baker.
  • City statements say the ownership group would fund both the land purchase and construction of a retractable‑roof stadium.
  • Officials describe the plan as a several‑billion‑dollar private investment that includes remediation of long‑polluted rail land.
  • Denver will launch a community‑driven Small Area Plan for housing, infrastructure and amenities, while the team says a roofed venue could enable year‑round events, potentially tripling current totals and drawing attractions like the Super Bowl and Final Four.
