DENVER -- The Denver Broncos are taking over the naming rights to their stadium from Sports Authority but no signs are coming down yet.
After missing its $3.6 million contract payment Monday, Sports Authority asked a bankruptcy judge Tuesday to allow it to transfer the rights to the team.
The company declined to comment but in court filings it said it did not find anyone interested in paying cash for the rights. Those rights weren't free and clear though. The Broncos and the Metropolitan Football Stadium District, which built and oversees the taxpayer-built Sports Authority Field at Mile High, had maintained they had veto power over any potential deal.
