In a monumental announcement that’s sending shockwaves across the NFL and the city of Denver, the 3-time Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos have officially broken ground on a brand-new Empower Field at Mile High, a next-generation stadium that is set to redefine football in the Mile High City — and across the league.
The new venue, which will feature a staggering 100,000+ seating capacity, is being hailed as one of the most ambitious and historic stadium projects in NFL history. The Broncos unveiled early renderings and plans on Monday, with a ceremonial groundbreaking attended by team legends, ownership executives, city officials, and thousands of roaring fans.
“This is more than a stadium — it’s a symbol of our city’s growth, our fanbase’s unmatched loyalty, and the future of Denver Broncos football,” said team CEO Greg Penner. “We’re building a home worthy of champions.”
The project is being described as a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment complex, designed not only to host Broncos home games but also serve as a year-round hub for concerts, major sporting events, and community activities. Features of the new Empower Field will include:
-
Over 100,000 seats — making it the largest stadium in the NFL by capacity
-
A fully retractable roof for all-weather events
-
360-degree jumbotron and immersive digital fan experience
-
Expanded tailgating zones and fan plazas
-
Eco-friendly technology, including solar panels and water recycling systems
-
A Broncos Hall of Fame Museum and legacy center
Construction is expected to be completed by the start of the 2028 NFL season, with phased development allowing current games at the existing Empower Field to continue uninterrupted.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston praised the investment, calling it a “game-changer for our local economy, tourism, and community identity.”
The Broncos franchise — rich with history and passionate fans — is aiming to match its championship pedigree with a stadium that reflects its bold aspirations for the future. For fans, players, and the city alike, it’s a dream finally turning into reality.
“We’re going to make this the loudest, proudest, and most electrifying stadium in football,” said head coach Sean Payton. “This is just the beginning.”
With the skyline of Denver set to evolve alongside the team’s vision, one thing is clear: Broncos Country is building something legendary.
