Broncos president Damani Leech on Saturday said a privately funded new stadium project at Burnham Yard will “likely” include the sale of personal seat licenses.
PSLs are one-time licenses that give the buyer the right to purchase season tickets for specific seats. They are commonplace in the NFL and have been part of nearly every stadium project undertaken in the past decade.
“It seems like itap a pretty likely thing to happen, but we haven’t made any formal decisions on that,” Leech said.
Buyers who purchase PSLs typically get early access to tickets for other events held at the stadium. They are sellable if buyers decide to give up their season tickets, too.
Teams sell PSLs to raise capital to help cover construction costs.
It is not yet clear, if the club does sell them, exactly how they will work, if they will be for every seat in the new stadium or what they will cost.
Super Bowl in play, but a long way out
Leech reiterated the Broncos’ interest in hosting a Super Bowl sometime after a new stadium would be completed, but said club officials don’t think about it “every day.”
The Broncos’ goal is to play in a new stadium at Burnham Yard for the 2031 season and to have the initial phase of an entertainment district completed by then, too. Subsequent district phases, though, could take years to decades to fully complete.
“I don’t think we’re thinking that we need to wait until the end of the full development occurs,” Leech said on potentially hosting a Super Bowl. “I think thatap not realistic and probably somebody who’s just impatient wouldn’t want to wait that long either. I think itap fine to consider doing a Super Bowl earlier on after the stadium opens than later.”
Demolition of old facility will happen after training camp
The Broncos will wait until training camp concludes later this month before beginning demolition of their old team headquarters building.
Once the old building is gone, the team plans to repurpose the east side of their property into a fan viewing area for future training camps. Exactly what form it takes, whether there is a simple grass berm like before, more terraced landscaping or some form of bleachers is still under consideration.
“All of that will happen after camp during the course of this season,” Leech said.
