The Denver Broncos are inviting the public to an open house on Thursday to showcase their proposed design for a new stadium. The team believes the Burnham Yard site, a 58-acre decommissioned railyard off I-25, is the perfect location for the new facility, which would include not just the stadium but also restaurants, entertainment venues, retail, housing, and offices.

Why it matters

The Broncos' current home, Empower Field at Mile High, will be 30 years old by 2030 and in need of major renovations or replacement. This new stadium proposal represents a long-term vision for the team's future in Denver and an opportunity to redevelop a historic part of the city.

The details

The open house will take place from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday at the La Alma Recreation Center, with a presentation scheduled for 6 p.m. During this time, residents can provide feedback to Broncos leadership on the stadium plans. The proposed stadium would feature a retractable roof on the west side and be part of a larger mixed-use development including restaurants, entertainment, retail, housing, and offices.

  • The open house is scheduled for Thursday, February 12, 2026.
  • The Broncos' current stadium, Empower Field at Mile High, will be 30 years old by 2030.
