In a move that has stunned both fans and the sports community, the Denver Broncos have officially started the process of relocating their legendary home stadium, Empower Field at Mile High, to a new and more convenient location within the city of Denver. While details are still emerging, the franchise has confirmed that preliminary assessments, environmental studies, and architectural planning are underway to determine the ideal site for the future home of the Broncos. The official transfer is expected to begin sometime in early 2026, depending on construction and logistical planning.
For more than two decades, Empower Field at Mile High has been a sacred ground for Broncos Nation, hosting legendary moments and unforgettable games since it opened in 2001. However, with changes in infrastructure, urban development, and increasing fan demand for accessibility and modern amenities, the team’s leadership believes that relocation is a necessary step to meet future expectations. According to insiders, the new stadium will be closer to key transportation hubs, hotels, and entertainment districts, making it a more integrated part of Denver’s urban experience.
Team executives, including owner Greg Penner and team president Damani Leech, released a joint statement saying the decision was made to “elevate the game-day experience, improve access for all fans, and lay the foundation for a new era of Broncos football.” They also emphasized that the move will not affect the team’s identity, traditions, or connection to its passionate Colorado fan base.
The proposed stadium relocation plan includes a state-of-the-art, domed facility that will not only serve as the Broncos’ home field but will also host major events such as the Super Bowl, Final Four, concerts, and international sporting competitions. Early renderings suggest the new venue will feature retractable roofing, immersive technology, energy-efficient systems, and expanded seating capacity to rival the best stadiums in the league.
Despite the excitement, the announcement has also triggered mixed reactions from longtime fans who cherish the atmosphere and elevation advantage of Mile High. However, the team has reassured the public that Mile High’s legacy will be memorialized through statues, museum exhibits, and digital installations at the new stadium.
Construction is expected to begin in late 2025, pending approvals and final design confirmation. Until the new stadium is ready, the Broncos will continue to play at Empower Field, ensuring continuity for both players and fans.
As one chapter closes and another begins, Broncos fans are bracing for a bold new future. The move marks one of the most ambitious transformations in franchise history — and the countdown to a new Mile High experience has officially begun.
