That shared history has an opportunity to continue, as the Broncos, the city of Denver and the state of Colorado announced Burnham Yard on Tuesday as the preferred site for a privately funded retractable roof stadium anchoring a mixed-use district. The project will include city and state support for public improvements with no new taxes.

The Broncos just announced their plans to construct a new stadium in her backyard, and it could mean a livelier neighborhood.

The Walton-Penner Family Ownership group will privately fund the investment, the group stated, “and work with the community, city and state to reconnect historic neighborhoods — with no new taxes.”
