Broncos are breaking ground on new headquarters and practice facility today

The Broncos are breaking ground on their new Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit facility today.

The Denver Broncos will break ground on a new Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit facility on Thursday morning.

“Designed in a contemporary style reflective of Colorado with a focus on enhancing player health and performance, the Broncos’ facility will bring together football and business operations in an inspirational, collaborative and modern environment,” the team said in a press release earlier this week. “The three-story, 205,000-square-foot training facility will mark a 30 percent increase in size over the existing facility.”

The privately funded project is projected to cost about $175 million, and the Broncos hope to have construction completed in time for the 2026 season.

Denver coach Sean Payton said after Wednesday’s practice that he’s looking forward to an underground parking lot that will prevent him from having to scrape snow off his car windows in the winter.

“Obviously, it’s going to be beautiful,” Payton said. “It’s going to be nice — I think two years is the [target date], I think 2026. When we’re sitting here doing this, it’s going to be there (points to new facility location). This will all be gone. Greg [Penner], Carrie [Walton Penner], the planning — there’s been a lot that’s gone into it. And it’s just one more sign of their commitment relative to this organization and where we’re at [and] what they want to do.”

Here is a rendering of what the new facility will look like, provided by the team. Denver is expected to use temporary bleachers for fans at training camp next summer during construction. Once completed, the Broncos will have a beautiful facility for players, coaches and fans to enjoy.

Construction of Broncos’ newly-named training facility will begin after training camp

The Broncos will begin construction on their newly-named training facility after training camp wraps up this summer.

The Denver Broncos had been debating whether to begin construction on their new training facility before or after training camp this summer. A decision has now been made — construction will begin after camp, making it easier for fans to attend practices this summer.

Broncos president Damani Leech confirmed pushing back the start of construction in a recent interview with The Denver Post‘s Parker Gabriel.

“[We will] hold off on the start of major construction until right after training camp,” Leech told Gabriel.

Last year, the team wrapped up training camp on Aug. 17. Denver had 12 practices open to the public in 2023. This year’s camp schedule (expected to arrive next month) will likely have a similar number of open practices.

The team plans to have construction for the new $175 million facility done in 2026. In the meantime, a new name has already been announced. Formerly called Centura Health Training Center, the team’s headquarters will now be named Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit. The name change followed Centura Health’s switch to CommonSpirit Health.

“Designed with a focus on player health and performance, Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit will feature 320,000 total square feet on a 26-acre campus with a new three-story main building attached to the existing Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse,” according to the team’s official website.

The Broncos began training camp on July 28 last summer. The team’s 2023 camp schedule was announced in late June.
