The Denver Broncos has named Burnham Yards in Denver as their preferred site to build a new stadium in time for the 2031 season.

The new stadium will also have a retractable roof and will have a natural grass playing field. Since there will be a retractable roof, Denver will now have the opportunities to host a Super Bowl, College Football Playoff games, Final Fours, WrestleMania, concerts and maybe some award shows.

The team and the city of Denver shared news releases with an announcement of the plans.

“Today marks an important step forward in a shared vision for the Denver Broncos, the city of Denver and the state of Colorado,” Team owners Greg and Carrie Penner wrote a joint letter to the fanbase with Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Governor Jared Polis that outlined some of the plan.. “Together, we are pleased to announce historic Burnham Yard in the heart of Denver as the preferred site for a world-class retractable roof stadium anchoring a dynamic mixed-use district. Once a vital railyard that played a key role in Denver’s past, Burnham Yard now represents a transformational opportunity to reimagine the future with deep respect for the rich history of the area.”

According to 9News, the Broncos also considered Lone Tree and Aurora as potential spots for thee new stadium.

9News also reported that there will be “zero public funding for the stadium and surrounding neighborhood. There will be no new taxes. The Broncos’ primary owners, Greg and Carrie Penner are privately funding the stadium, the land, the surrounding development and all construction costs.”

The current stadium for the Broncos, opened in 2001 with the first Broncos game being played on Monday Night Football on September 10 against the New York Giants. Taxpayers funded 75 percent of the $400 million that it cost to build the current stadium.

The Broncos’ ownership group has already spent over $100 million in upgrades for the current stadium while being in the middle of spending $175 million for a new practice and training facility in Englewood.
