How Many Hours It Took to Build Broncos' New $175M 'State-of-the-Art' Facility Revealed

The Denver Broncos' new "state-of-the-art" facility took 750,000 total man hours to complete, per ESPN's Jeff Legwold , and has certainly caught the attention of the team's players.

"I said it last year when they were still building it, I say 'look at it, just look at it,'" running back J.K. Dobbins said. "How are you going to be a player and you see the coaches, the team, the people and where we go every day and not want to be here? Nobody else has one of these."

Defensive tackle D.J. Jones said it is a "10 out of 10," while cornerback Pat Surtain II said, "Everything is state-of-the-art. When I first got in ... I was looking at it and I was like, 'Wow.' I was in awe."

Legwold noted the complex cost $175 million and was done in an effort to get the majority of the team's employees under one roof.

"Every day I walk the building, I see different parts for the first time post-construction and I think it's amazing," Broncos president Damani Leech said. "It's a testament to ownership, to Greg and Carrie [Penner], the investment they've made into football ... but also our business to ... create culture, to design a building with football in mind.

"I love coming to work every day, and I think everybody else does, too."

The facility is 240,000 square feet and 30 percent larger than the previous one.

It has three floors, the first of which is for the players and includes a locker room with 102 lockers, an equipment room, a training room, a weight room, a cafeteria, a lap pool and a hallway to the indoor practice facility, which stands in stark contrast to the last one where players had to leave the main building and go outside into the Colorado winter air to get to the indoor practice building.

The second floor features offices for head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton, as well as working space for the coaches, personnel and scouting staffs.

What's more, the third floor includes an employee fitness center and a golf simulator.

With the new facility now complete, the team can turn its attention to its season opener against the rival Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 14 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
