Report Projects Broncos Home Playoffs to Deliver Over $60 Million to Denver

The forecast centers on new visitor spending expected to ripple beyond the stadium into hospitality, retail, transportation.

Overview

  • The Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation estimates the divisional game will generate more than $28 million, with the total surpassing $60 million if an AFC Championship is hosted.
  • For every $1 spent related to the playoff weekend, the analysis projects about $1.60 circulating through the local economy.
  • Only the portion of revenue that stays local is counted, and roughly 20% of ticket sales are treated as retained in Denver under the report’s methodology.
  • Visitor spending is expected to flow to hotels, restaurants, transportation and retail, supporting about 380 full- and part-time positions.
  • Hotels report strong demand and sharply higher prices, with one downtown room listed at $474 for Saturday night compared with $97 on a typical Monday.
