Penner Hails Payton’s Culture Shift as Broncos Advance Plan for 2031 Burnham Yard Stadium

The project emphasizes a retractable roof to attract a Super Bowl and other major events.

Overview

  • In London, owner Greg Penner said Sean Payton has put the team on a new trajectory with a culture of high expectations and signaled a commitment to rewarding young standouts, citing pass rusher Nik Bonitto’s breakout.
  • Penner confirmed the organization wants its new venue to host a Super Bowl and said regular-season games would be played with the roof open, closing only for events like the NFL title game and concerts.
  • Denver named Burnham Yard as its preferred stadium site and has begun community outreach and early design work with consultants, while noting architects are in discussions and a contractor has not been selected.
  • On the field, the Broncos are 3-2 after a 21-17 win over the Eagles and meet the Jets on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  • Payton reunited with former Leicester Panthers teammates during the trip, and the Walton-Penner ownership donated helmets and shoulder pads to the Panthers’ youth team.
