While the Denver Broncos are considering their stadium options, team president Damani Leech has been consulting other executives around the league about upcoming decisions.
“Absolutely," Leech said while speaking at the NFL's Annual League Meeting on March 31. "Informally, you do that as you talk to people in the hallways, but also formally. We spent probably two hours on that topic yesterday as a group of club presidents talking about stadiums, both the ones who recently built stadiums, [such as] Vegas and [Los Angeles]. What are some of their learnings?
"Even Minnesota, what are some of the learnings that they’re having? Teams that are currently building stadiums, [like] Buffalo and Tennessee. Where they are, what they’re learning, what they’re going through. Then obviously, I think there’s a large number of teams that are looking at their stadiums from a life standpoint and trying to think about what the future might be.”
The Broncos have emphasized that no stadium decision has been made yet, but many fans and pundits expect the team to build a new super stadium. Owner and CEO Greg Penner has specifically mentioned Lone Tree, Aurora and downtown Denver as potential locations if the team does build a stadium.
The team's current lease at Empower Field at Mile High expires after the 2030 season, so if it takes four years to build a new stadium, a decision might be coming soon.
