Denver Water Emergency Facility Stalls Broncos Stadium Push | Denver News

Denver City Council member Jamie Torres is blocking plans for a new Broncos stadium by opposing the relocation of Denver Water’s emergency response facility to Lot M, a five-acre parking lot near the current stadium — a move neighbors and council members alike say is untenable. With construction slated to begin next spring for a 2031 opening, the Broncos’ preferred site at Burnham Yard faces delays as Denver Water seeks a central location for urgent water infrastructure needs. While Denver Water’s CEO insists Lot M remains the most viable option, community backlash and council resistance have forced the city to explore alternatives — including donating another public parcel or having the Broncos buy land elsewhere — turning this critical issue into a major hurdle in the stadium’s timeline.
