New Broncos Stadium is the project name for a proposedretractable roof stadium to be constructed in theLincoln Park neighborhood ofDenver, Colorado, United States. The stadium will serve as the home venue for theNational Football League (NFL) teamDenver Broncos and host other sports and public events. It was announced in 2025 and is expected to open in 2031.
TheNational Football League (NFL)'sDenver Broncos currently play their home games atEmpower Field at Mile High, which replacedMile High Stadium as their home venue in 2001.[1]
Following an internal ownership dispute among the family members of the lateDenver Broncos ownerPat Bowlen in 2019, speculation arose concerning the potential sale of the team.[2][3] Speculation concerning the construction of a new stadium began growing after then-Broncos presidentJoe Ellis suggested that a new stadium would be "Issue No. 1 on the next owner's plate".[4][5][6] In August 2021,Walmart fortune heirRob Walton purchased the team for $4.65 billion.[7] Following the sale, the new Broncos' ownership team refused to rule out replacing Empower Field with a new, state-of-the-art stadium in the future.[8][9]
In December 2022, the new ownership group announced $100 million in renovations into Empower Field at Mile High, including the construction of a larger video board, improved concessions, and expanded hospitality space.[10] During the renovation announcement, the team again refused to rule out the possibility of a new stadium's construction in the distant future.[11]
In January 2023, the team partnered withLegends Hospitality to survey Broncos fans and stakeholders regarding the construction of a new stadium.[12][13] The results found that a majority of fans preferred a new stadium with a retractable roof in a near-downtown location. There was also an overwhelming support for a mixed-use development, as well as a focus on the importance of non-gameday amenities and site accessibility.
Starting in August 2024, various parcels of land were purchased by various Limited-Liability-Corporations(LLC) around the Burnham Yard rail site, a downtown state-owned, 58-acre property that predates Colorado statehood.[14]
On September 9, 2025, the Broncos, city of Denver and state of Colorado announced Burnham Yard as the preferred site for a new stadium.[15][16] The stadium-anchored community hub will span more than 100 acres, with the team purchasing the 58-acre site for the stadium and 25 acres from Denver Water for surrounding land.[15] Private real estate acquisitions will make up the rest of the stadium complex.[15] The Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group also announced that they will privately fund the stadium, the land, the surrounding development, and the construction costs, with the city of Denver shouldering $140 million in infrastructure upgrades surrounding the area. Among the proposed improvements are upgrades to Denver'sRegional Transportation District (RTD) light-rail services to the area, which is served by the10th & Osage station.[17]
In October 2025, the Broncos partnered with the architectural firmSasaki to begin the initial designing of the stadium. Broncos CEO Greg Penner emphasized the desire for a raucous atmosphere in the new stadium, stating, "We really want that experience that’s loud," and adding that the team wants it to be "a place that opposing teams don’t want to come play."[18]
On November 5, 2025, the Broncos submitted a 38-page preliminary review plan for the development of the Burnham Yards rail site to the city of Denver. The plan suggested building the new stadium in on the western side of the Burnham Yards site, with building permits to be acquired in 2027.[19] In a statement, the Broncos organization committed to collaborating with city officials and neighboring residence to ensure local concerns are addressed during the stadium's planning phase.[20][21]
