The Front Range Passenger Rail District is advancing plans to establish train stops at major sports venues in Colorado, including the Denver Broncos' new stadium and the Denver Summit soccer stadium. General manager Sal Pace indicated that these stops aim to provide convenient access for sports fans and alleviate road congestion. However, the implementation hinges on voter approval for a proposed tax increase of approximately 4 cents on every $10 spent, which would help finance the rail service. A $332 million passenger rail service is scheduled to commence in 2029, connecting Denver Union Station with Boulder and Fort Collins. If the tax is approved, a second phase extending south from Denver to Colorado Springs and Pueblo could begin in 2032. The Broncos stadium is anticipated to open in 2031, and plans include a retractable roof and surrounding commercial development. Ongoing discussions are also focused on stops near the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the Air Force Academy, enhancing public transport options for events at these venues.
