Broncos CEO Greg Penner on stadium future: “We haven’t ruled out anything”
Jan 15, 2025
The Broncos’ stadium future remains undecided and CEO Greg Penner said Wednesday that the team is considering all of its options.
Penner, speaking after his team finished a 10-7 season that included a return to the playoffs for the first time since 2015, noted that ownership has visited with municipalities besides the city of Denver.
“I’m sure you’ve all seen some rumors recently,” Penner said. “We’re continuing to do our diligence. It’s a complex question and decision on what we decide to do. We haven’t ruled out anything at this point.
“We’re still looking at options on the current site, around Denver. We visited other places like Lone Tree.”
As the Broncos move steadily toward the end date of their lease at Empower Field after the 2030 season, they’ve got time before a final decision must be made.
Among the many experts The Post spoke with for a recent series on stadiums in Colorado, the general consensus is that real estate development and an entertainment district of some form or fashion around a stadium is likely to be a driving factor.
That, of course, makes the decision of whether to stay in the current stadium, at the current site or move elsewhere in the metro a complicated question and one that involves likely several municipalities and stakeholder groups.
“We’ve got still got more steps to take there,” Penner said of the decision overall.
