The Denver Broncos have made it no secret that they are considering all their stadium options. Regarding the stadium situation, team president Damani Leech said there is “a healthy amount of pressure” around the decision, with owner Greg Penner saying the team is considering locations in Lone Tree, Aurora and downtown Denver.
Penner mentioned Aurora, the state’s third-largest city, for the first time at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting.
Sitting on the outskirts of Denver, Aurora could be a more viable option than Lone Tree for a new stadium, although as Leech acknowledged, the entire stadium building process takes about four years from beginning to end. Though nothing is set in stone just yet, the Broncos are nearing a crucial deadline on whether to renew their current lease at Empower Field at Mile High in 2030.
With the franchise’s state-of-the-art practice facility quickly taking shape, the Walton-Penner ownership group have shown they are not shying away from spending top dollar on the team. While no decision has been made yet, many fans and pundits expect the team to build a new super stadium. It remains to be seen where such a stadium could be built, but Aurora is suddenly a location to keep an eye on.
