Broncos ownership group becomes largest minority partner of Rockies while Monforts remain in charge of MLB club

The Colorado Rockies are 6-7, meaning they’ve already stacked more wins they had by the end of April last year during a forgettable, 119-loss season. Their sweep of the Houston Astros is still in the rear-view mirror.

Things are looking up for a club that could really go nowhere but up after a miserable 2025, and now the Rockies are getting a sizable investment from familiar faces in Denver.

Rockies chairman and CEO Dick Monfort and owner/general partner Charlie Monfort announced Friday that Penner Sports Group, which holds Broncos owners Greg and Carrie Penner’s stake in the NFL franchise, has become the largest minority partner of city’s MLB club.

The Penners are purchasing a 40% share of the Rockies, according to The Denver Post. The Monfort family will remain majority owners, and the Monforts will maintain their roles, with Dick continuing to serve as chairman and CEO, Charlie staying put as owner/general partner and Walker — Dick’s son — still holding the title as team president and leading day-to-day operations.

“This investment from Penner Sports Group will support both short and long-term strategic planning for the Rockies,” the club’s statement read on Friday.

“It will allow the club to retire all outstanding debt while providing additional investment in the team as well as a world-class family-friendly experience at Coors Field.”
