The Denver Broncos are making progress toward a new stadium.

The Broncos submitted a large development review pre-application to the city, the team said Wednesday, which outlines early plans for the development of Burnham Yard. It is the preferred site of the Walton-Penner ownership group’s new privately funded stadium and surrounding entertainment district.

The pre-application includes a conceptual map of the area with initial plans to locate the retractable-roof stadium on the west side of Burnham Yard away from residential neighborhoods to the east.

The team also plans to highlight the history of Burnham Yard — a historic Denver rail yard south of Colfax Avenue and east of Interstate 25 — as part of the design process.

The Broncos are targeting the 2031 NFL season as a stadium completion date.

On Wednesday, the team released the following statement:

“The Large Development Review — alongside the Community Benefits Agreement and Small Area Plan — is an opportunity for the Denver Broncos to ensure the stadium and mixed-use community bring meaningful, lasting benefit to the area. Our goal is to create a true local asset that expands access, improves quality of life and provides year-round impact for the broader neighborhood, metro area and visitors.

“As our organization begins this process, we are in listen-first mode and remain deeply committed to collaborative, inclusive and transparent engagement. Working closely with civic leaders, we are dedicated to honoring and celebrating the rich, diverse history of the area along with the cultural fabric of the community.

“While the conceptual design in the Large Development Review is a high-level preliminary draft, we look forward to partnering with the city of Denver and our future neighbors to shape the next phases of planning. Together, we will refine this conceptual layout into a detailed plan that respects the surrounding neighborhoods, adds new homes and creates vibrant community amenities and green spaces to be enjoyed throughout the year.”
