Broncos owners try to block sale of Sports Authority's sponsorship deal

Sports Authority Inc. can't sell or transfer its Mile High Stadium naming rights or its team sponsorship without written consent, the Denver Broncos said in a bankruptcy court filing.

Like the Denver Metropolitan Football Stadium District, which owns Mile High, the Broncos hope to keep Sports Authority from auctioning off the contracts.

In a filing made late Friday, lawyers for PDB Sports Ltd., which does business as the Broncos, and Stadium Management Company LLC, which manages the stadium, said the bankrupt retailer doesn't have the team's consent to sell or assign its sponsorship agreement.
