Denver Summit FC announced they have surpassed 40,000 tickets sold for their inaugural home game, putting them on track to break the NWSL’s single-match attendance record.
Denver is one of two expansion franchises to enter the NWSL this year along with Boston Legacy FC, taking the league up to 16 teams.
The Summit will play their first three matches on the road before their inaugural home match against the Washington Spirit on March 28 at Empower Field at Mile High — home of the Denver Broncos.
The game will almost certainly break the current record of 40,061, set last year when the Spirit faced Bay FC at Oracle Park in San Francisco.
The Summit will play the majority of their home games this year at Centennial Stadium, a 12,000-seat temporary venue that will be used for two years until the team has a permanent stadium of its own.
In December, the club received approval from the Denver City Council to move forward with a proposed 14,500-seat stadium to be built in the city’s Santa Fe Yards district.
The venue is slated to open in 2028.
