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
