In their NFLPA report card following the 2023 season, the Denver Broncos were given a “D+” grade for their treatment of families.
The biggest complaint players had was that there was no family room at the stadium, something that 20 other NFL teams provide for players on game days.
The Broncos took note of that low grade and they quickly addressed it. Before the team’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, 104.3 The Fan‘s Andrew Mason shared an image of a family room that’s “coming soon” at Empower Field at Mile High:
Broncos ownership has proven very responsive to issues raised in the annual @NFLPA survey of players, and this was a big one: adding a room for families of players and coaches — with a nursing suite — on-site at the stadium. pic.twitter.com/6hFzfzgo5V

The graphic says the family room will arrive for the 2024 regular season. The amenities are as follows:
- Private hospitality space for player and coach families
- Complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages
- Comfortable seating and furniture options and Game TVs
- Dedicated heating and cooling
- Men’s and women’s restrooms
- Nursing mother’s suite
That’s quite an upgrade from previously having no family room at the stadium. Another smart move from Denver’s new ownership group.
