PHOENIX — More of Broncos Country will be able to watch their team take the field this summer.
President Damani Leech said Monday the organization plans to increase the capacity for training camp practices, following the completion of the new Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit.
Leech said the team will demolish the existing training facility after moving across the field to the new building in late June. The Broncos will then put up temporary bleachers for training camp, and they expect to be able to host more fans than they did in 2025.
"We'll be in those temporary bleachers from a fan perspective this season," Leech said at the NFL Annual Meeting. "Then, shortly after camp ends, we'll start to build the berm back up and be more similar to what fans are used to."
Leech said the state-of-the-art training facility is a significant benefit for the organization and a testament to the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group's commitment.
"For our football players, for them to be able to use it, and coaches and staff, I think it will just be great for the organization," Leech said. "It's a tremendous credit to [Owner & CEO] Greg [Penner] and [Owner] Carrie [Walton Penner] and their investment in the organization and putting the team in a position to be successful on the field."
Leech said he's received positive feedback from players on the impending move, including new wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
"It's a great opportunity for our football team to get better," Leech said. "It's another sort of arrow in their quiver for success on the field. I'm excited about it."
As Greg Penner detailed the "terrific process" of watching the new training center come to life, he said the benefits of the new Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit are twofold.
"No. 1, it is bringing the whole organization together — so, folks from different buildings and sites, including the stadium," Penner said. "Then, it will be a huge benefit for the players. The whole design of the building is oriented around enabling the players to have that one floor where they can do everything. So, a larger locker room, training room, connected to the weight room, meetings rooms and cafeteria. The player path of travel is going to be really well set up."
AN INTERNATIONAL UPDATE
While the home teams for the 2026 International Series slate have been announced, several visiting teams remain unconfirmed. The Broncos' lone potential international matchup would come in Mexico City, as Denver is slated to face San Francisco on the road during the upcoming season. The 49ers were previously announced as a designated home team for the Mexico City matchup, with the Broncos among their potential opponents.
On Monday, though, Leech said while Denver is "technically" eligible to play in the game, the Broncos "haven't heard anything" from the league about playing in Mexico City.
Regardless of whether the Broncos travel internationally in 2026, Leech — who previously served as the Chief Operating Officer for NFL International — expressed the franchise's continued support for playing in international markets.
"Selfishly, personally, I love the international ambitions of the league," Leech said. "Greg and Carrie support it. [Head Coach] Sean [Payton] is a big fan of it. Anything we can do to support the overall league initiative, we're on board."
The Broncos have played a pair of international games — both of which were in London — since the start of the 2022 season.
