Broncos “looking at options” for potential renovation or rebuild of Dove Valley training facility

Broncos CEO Greg Penner said Wednesday that the club is "looking at options" regarding a potential renovation or rebuild of the Centura Health Training Facility in Dove Valley, but no decisions are imminent.

Broncos CEO Greg Penner said Wednesday that the club is "looking at options" regarding a potential renovation or rebuild of the Centura Health Training Facility in Dove Valley, but no decisions are imminent.

The Broncos next month will unveil more than $100 million in upgrades to Empower Field at Mile High. At some point in the coming years, they may do more work or decide to build a new stadium.

Simultaneously, though, the franchise is considering undertaking another major project: Work at its Centura Health Training Center in Dove Valley.

CEO Greg Penner acknowledged as much Wednesday as Denver prepares to formally kick off training camp Friday morning.

“We’re evaluating that. We love this location. We own the land here, this is obviously where we’d like to be,” Penner said. “That being said, the building that we’re in now is a bit small, especially when you look at the locker room and the mode of player travel throughout the building. It’s connected to the weight room or this structure.

“So we’re looking at options where we could potentially bring that together, but no immediate plans on that.”

The current facility features three buildings – headquarters, the weight room and the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse, which houses an indoor practice facility and the team store. For the first time, the club this summer is limiting training camp attendance to 3,000 per practice and requiring a ticket for entrance.

The future may well look different. The Broncos could decide to build new from the ground up, renovate the current facility or make other tweaks.

Asked whether the club would have to relocate temporarily during such work, Penner said, “too early to tell, but ideally not.”

As for the decision regarding a potential new stadium, team president Damani Leech on Wednesday said the process was still, “to use a football metaphor, in the first quarter.”
