Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ office is involved in wide-ranging negotiations with the Broncos over Burnham Yard, a state-owned property that is considered a potential site for a new stadium, The Denver Post has confirmed.
Two people with direct knowledge of the ongoing stadium discussions, which include several entities, confirmed the involvement of the governor’s office to The Post. The 58-acre former rail yard, situated east of Interstate 25 and mostly north of Sixth Avenue, is among a handful of sites along the Front Range the Broncos are considering for a potential new stadium.
And the state is already planning to sell it, after the Colorado Department of Transportation determined it doesn’t need the site — which it purchased four years ago for $50 million.
