The Denver Broncos plan to host more fans at their summer training camp, President Damani Leech said on Mar. 30 as the team prepares to move into its new facility, Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit.

Leech said the organization will increase capacity for training camp practices after relocating to the new building in late June. The existing training facility will be demolished, and temporary bleachers will be installed for fans during this season’s camp. “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 described the state-of-the-art facility as a major benefit for players, coaches, and staff and credited ownership with making it possible. “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,” he 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 also noted positive feedback from players about moving into the new space.

Greg Penner outlined how bringing everyone together under one roof is central to the design of Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit: “No. 1, it is bringing the whole organization together — so, folks from different buildings and sites, including the stadium,” Penner said. He added that having facilities such as an expanded locker room connected directly with other player areas would benefit athletes’ routines.

On international play prospects for 2026, Leech addressed speculation about whether Denver could play San Francisco in Mexico City next season since San Francisco was named as a home team there but visiting teams remain unconfirmed. While technically eligible for that game, Leech said they have not received any word from league officials yet regarding participation.

Regardless of travel plans abroad next year or not, Leech affirmed support for expanding NFL games internationally: “Selfishly, personally, I love the international ambitions of the league,” he 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.”
