Some seven months after the Denver Broncos football team announced plans to build an expansive new training facility, new details specific to the project have emerged.
As earlier announced, the $175 million facility will include some 320,000 square feet of building space, along with meeting rooms, expanded locker rooms, and sports performance areas.
Football operations will take up the structure’s second floor, with the team’s business offices located on the third floor.
Additional features: an amenity courtyard, hospitality space, and rooftop terrace.
The new facility in Englewood will connect to the 115,000-square-foot Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse, which is located at 13403 Broncos Parkway.
With a sleek modern design, the building and surrounding site is being called the Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit, in reference to an ongoing partnership that the team has with the hospital group CommonSpirit Health.
Describing the new structure as a “state-of-the art team headquarters,” Damani Leech, president of the Broncos, said the groundbreaking is scheduled to take place after the conclusion of the team’s pre-season in August.
Founded in 1959, the Denver Broncos have played in the old Mile High Stadium before moving over to the Empower Field at Mile High. Meanwhile, the team has used the same training facility for at least three decades.
Earlier this year, Greg Penner, Broncos chief executive officer, suggesting that the older facility had become an expensive proposition. “We keep putting more and more money in it to keep it up to the standard that it needed to be at,” he remarked in a press conference.
Long in the planning stages, design work on the new training facility began in 2022. It is thought that construction will be completed by the late summer of 2026.
