Overview
- The Broncos completed a deal for six SRM Concrete parcels totaling nearly 10 acres earlier this week, with city records reported at $55 million for the northern edge of the planned Burnham Yard district.
- Team leaders continue to target a 2031 stadium opening but say the timeline is aggressive and that breaking ground in late spring or early summer 2027 will be necessary to meet that goal.
- Key outstanding hurdles include negotiated terms for a Community Benefits Agreement, the relocation of about 20 acres of Denver Water operations and securing additional public land and municipal approvals.
- Ownership has advanced design work and master-plan renderings with architects named, and has set three stadium priorities—an outdoor experience, a natural-grass field and space for the team’s skydivers—which will affect engineering and approvals.
- Neighborhood meetings for the city’s Small Area Plan are ongoing as residents press for traffic, parking and anti-displacement protections, and community response plus permit timelines will shape the project’s schedule and scope.
