The Broncos have identified the location they hope to call home for generations to come. Burnham Yard, the former railyard nestled east of Interstate 25 and north of Sixth Avenue, is the franchise’s preferred site for a new stadium, the club announced Tuesday morning while outlining an unprecedented, privately financed vision for a stadium and adjoining mixed-use entertainment district. “We couldn’t be more excited,” Broncos CEO and owner Greg Penner said in an exclusive interview with The Denver Post on Tuesday. “We had communication with the whole ownership group yesterday and everybody’s been thinking about this and had it on…

Ryan Staub may have gone from No. 3 to No. 1 on the depth chart, but Colorado head coach Deion Sanders isn’t ready to make that official. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Tuesday morning that Staub is expected to make his second career start at quarterback when Colorado visits Houston for its Big 12 Conference opener on Friday night (5:30 p.m., ESPN) at TDECU Stadium. At his press conference on Tuesday, however, Sanders said a decision hasn’t been made. “I’m not confirming nothing. You all know that,” Sanders said. “We have capable guys. I haven’t made that assessment or decision yet.”…

A former vice president at Colorado-based Arrow Electronics and the CEO of a contractor have been sentenced to federal prison for defrauding Arrow, a global provider of technology services and components, of nearly $2 million. Michael Vergato, 52, who worked for Arrow, was sentenced to 46 months in prison. Mark Perlstein, 60, was sentenced to 25 months and fined $15,000. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado said Monday that Vergato was convicted on six counts of wire fraud after a six-day trial in May. Perlstein pleaded guilty to wire fraud in June. The men were jointly ordered…

By KONSTANTIN TOROPIN and JOSHUA GOODMAN WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard detects and detains scores of drug-running vessels in the Caribbean every year in its role as the world’s drug police on the high seas. Now, that anti-narcotics mission may look vastly different after a U.S. military strike on a vessel off Venezuela. Trump administration officials asserted last week that gang members were smuggling drugs bound for America. The Trump administration has indicated more military strikes on drug targets could be coming, saying it is seeking to “wage war” on Latin American cartels it accuses of flooding the…

By DÁNICA COTO SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, arrived in Puerto Rico on Monday as the U.S. steps up its military operations against drug cartels in the Caribbean. Their arrival in the U.S. territory comes more than a week after ships carrying hundreds of U.S. marines deployed to Puerto Rico for a training exercise, a move that some on the island have criticized. Puerto Rico’s Gov. Jenniffer González said Hegseth and Caine visited on behalf of President Donald Trump’s administration to…

Sean Payton made it clear Monday: The Broncos need to be more assertive in running the football. He saw the same numbers as everybody else: 14 passes and three runs on Denver’s first 17 snaps against Tennessee. By the end, 43 drop-backs for quarterback Bo Nix. Payton suggested the discrepancies, which closed some with a bruising, 95-rush-yard fourth quarter, were not a matter of being pass-happy but instead a matter of letting Tennessee’s defense too often set the terms. “I have to be better there,” he said. “And it’s one of those day-afters where you look back and say, ‘All right,…

Hunter Goodman continues to be a shining beacon in the Rockies’ otherwise dreary season. The 25-year-old catcher was named the National League player of the week on Monday after slashing .476/.500/1.000 with 10 hits, three home runs and 10 runs batted in over five games last week. He led the NL in homers and RBIs during that span. On the season, the all-star is slashing .284/.330/.541 with 29 home runs — the most by a catcher in franchise history — and a team-leading 3.2 WAR. Rockies All-Star Hunter Goodman: A day in the life of a big-league catcher Goodman is…

Colorado’s Division of Youth Services last month removed all youth from its Lookout Mountain detention center amid what advocates say were deteriorating safety conditions. All 36 young people at Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center in Golden were temporarily transferred to other state-run facilities, DYS interim director Dave Lee told juvenile justice stakeholders in an Aug. 28 memo reviewed by The Denver Post. Many of the staff members there have also been temporarily relocated to support youth at their new centers. Lee did not discuss the reasoning for the sudden move, only saying that this “will allow DYS to use available…

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has reached a deal worth about $17 billion with Englewood-based EchoStar for spectrum licenses that it will use to beef up its Starlink satellite network. The deal for EchoStar’s AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses includes up to $8.5 billion in cash and up to $8.5 billion in SpaceX stock. SpaceX will make approximately $2 billion in cash interest payments on EchoStar debt through November 2027. SpaceX and EchoStar will enter into a long-term commercial agreement, which will allow EchoStar’s Boost Mobile subscribers to access SpaceX’s next-generation Starlink Direct to Cell service. Shares of EchoStar surged 19% before…

The fall art scene is especially promising in 2025. There is a potential blockbuster on the horizon, thanks to the Denver Art Museum’s upcoming retrospective of Impressionist icon Camille Pissarro. There’s also the welcome return to Colorado of contemporary art pioneer Roni Horn, who will produce a solo show at the MCA Denver. But the real news just might be the appearance of two new venues that will add a bit of personality on the edges of town: the opening of Black Cube Headquarters in Englewood, and the reopening of the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Greenwood Village. Here are…
