The company has revealed plans to develop more than 360 acres of open land to house a 20,000-seat stadium, youth soccer fields, retail development and a new Commerce City civic centre.
The stadium, which will be owned by the city and operated by KSE, will be at the new Prairie Gateway development in Commerce City.
In November there will be a ballot initiative that will ask Commerce City voters to approve a $64m bond issue, with no tax increase to Commerce City residents. If approved, construction would begin in early 2005 with a projected opening date in Spring 2007. HOK already has been announced as the stadium architect.
The $130m project will be located nine miles northeast of downtown Denver.
Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids is set to get a new 20,000-seater stadium in new plans unveiled by its owners, Kroenke Sports Enterprises (KSE) and local government chiefs.
