ENGLEWOOD — Summer vacation starts early for the Broncos.

On Wednesday, following the second practice of mandatory minicamp, coach Sean Payton announced the team’s final scheduled practice Thursday was canceled. He explained how the team’s new training facility, scheduled to open next month, impacted the decision.

“Today will be our last day. I just finished telling them that,” Payton said after Wednesday practice at Broncos Park. “It’s unusual because there’s a lot of packing, a little bit more than normal, when you’re moving into another facility. So, when we’re back here (for training camp), we’ll be in the new building.”

Excitement is building for the Broncos to enter their $175 million training facility with a revamped locker room, weight room, dining area, meeting rooms and offices. It was privately funded by the Walton-Penner family ownership group.

“The investment that they have … has always been something that we can feel as players and obviously there is a monument behind you guys that kind of proves that,” right tackle Mike McGlinchey said at a news conference directly east of the new training facility. “We are really excited for it. New toys are always fun. They’ve been fun since you were 2 years old and they are still fun when you are 31. I’m excited to see what it’s like and really thankful to be playing here in Denver and playing for Carrie (Walton Penner) and Greg (Penner). They treat us so well and we are very lucky to be playing for them.”

There is also a sense of calm confidence at Broncos Park with the majority of last year’s team that won 14 regular-season games returning this season. Multiple players have discussed how the Broncos are further along at this point in comparison to previous years.

Payton said it did not influence his decision to end Broncos minicamp one day early. But he explained why less offseason practice time is not a concern for his team.

“It (was) the most amount of days we’ve been in the building for the regular season, so there’s a balance there,” Payton said. “I think it’s just trying to read the team (and) the pulse of the team. We have a lot of things that we have to get to and a lot of work to do. Fortunately, I think we’re coming into the training camp pretty healthy.”

The Broncos approach training camp next month with a clean slate despite reaching the AFC championship game last season.

“Nothing about the year before matters to this one. Nothing about what we accomplished last year has anything to do with what we’re doing moving forward,” McGlinchey said. “I’m going into year nine. I still have things I need to improve on. I still have things I need to learn here. If everybody can do that … the success will come.”
