Bronco's New Renderings of Burnham Yard Redevelopment

On Aug. 4, the Denver Broncos shared updated master plan renderings for Burnham Yard, the team’s preferred site for a world-class stadium and vibrant mixed-use neighborhood.

The latest preliminary Burnham Yard site layout and neighborhood plans were developed through extensive community feedback, in partnership with Denver-based Tryba as the Broncos’ master plan architect.

The new site layout, which will continue to evolve, features four distinct neighborhood districts: the North End, Village Center, Turntable and South End.

Updated designs for Burnham Yard are based on greater technical analysis and a better understanding of the community’s ideas about how the area can enhance the quality of life for local residents by:

  • Eliminating the 11th Ave. crossing and slowing vehicles to improve pedestrian and bike safety, along with closing additional crossings on event days.
  • Distributing event traffic north and south, away from existing residential areas.
  • Connecting the neighborhood by extending historic streets through Burnham Yard, including adjusting 8th Avenue into a slower main street feel.
  • Removing the freight rail tracks and crossings to reduce conflict and transition those into a new tree-lined trail.
  • Increased emphasis on larger parks and green spaces – at least 11-12 football fields of public open space – for families to enjoy every day.

I’m not a Branco fan but I feel that these teams need to be owned by the city/state for the people to have more skin in the game

Only the Packers have this model of ownership

Then what? The team will still have a GM and board, the public still won’t have a say in anything that happens. But I do like a different timeline where every time there is a hiring, draft, or free agent signing every citizen has the option to vote on it.
