DENVER — Put a (retractable) lid on it. Burnham Yard it is.
The Broncos in a joint statement with the City of Denver and State of Colorado announced on Tuesday the historic railyard in the heart of Denver is the preferred site for team owners Greg and Carrie Penner to build a new retractable-roofed, natural grass playing field stadium in time for the 2031 NFL season.
The project will be funded by a private investment from the Penners with city and state support for public improvements and “no new taxes,” according to the joint statement from Greg and Carrie Penner, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis.
The team stopped short of saying it’s definitively going forward with building a new stadium. There is no groundbreaking ceremony or renderings accompanying the Burnham Yard announcement
Sad! I couldn’t find a model.

That's too bad. Would have been nice to see some renderings. I am glad they are making the roof retractable. More teams seem to be going with domes now. I get you want to sell high priced tickets and fans want to be comfortable but aside from the absolutely most extreme weather football should be played outdoors.
The only issue with retractable roofs is they tend to keep them closed unless the weather is optimal. Look at the Texas Rangers new stadium. They hardly ever open that thing.
