PHOENIX — The Broncos recently ramped up their survey efforts as they continue through a long process that ultimately will lead to a decision about whether to build a new stadium.The Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group started touring stadiums during the season and is keeping tabs on building projects around the NFL, as well.The survey season-ticket holders received recently included questions about the preferred location of a new stadium, what’s important about the game day experience, how far people are willing to travel, if they’d prefer a permanent roof, retractable roof, canopy or no roof and a raft of other queries. That wider survey came after Denver talked with 112 focus group participants and 34 club partners as a starting point. So far, team president Damani Leech said the team has about 7,000 completed surveys and the resulting data is slated to be finalized in about a month.“It’s early in the process, gathering information, really want to know what fans think across a v...
