Broncos stadium plans — Greg Penner says 2031 is the goal, but it won’t be easy — Zach & Phil react

The Drive dives into the Denver Post’s Rube Goldberg analogy for the Broncos’ stadium project — a complicated chain of moving parts, political hurdles, and logistical challenges.

The Drive explores whether this ambitious timeline is realistic, whether local politics could slow things down, and if the Broncos’ bold vision can truly be delivered on time.
