What to know about Denver Summit FC’s first home game on Saturday
Denver Summit FC will make its much-anticipated debut in front of a home crowd on Saturday at noon at Empower Field at Mile High.
The team will play Washington Spirit — a one-time champion and one-time runner-up in previous NWSL seasons — in its inaugural home game. The Summit is coming off its first-ever win, during a midweek game against Gotham FC.
The team is hoping — and expected — to break the National Women’s Soccer League attendance record.
Here’s what to know for those attending the game and those who want to watch it elsewhere.
The game has sold more than 60,000 tickets for its inaugural game — enough to smash the NWSL attendance record, but about 15,000 short of a stadium sellout.

Fans of Denver Summit FC hopeful pro women's soccer has a long-term future in the city
Women's soccer is experiencing a surge in popularity across the United States, and that momentum has reached Denver.
For the first time, Colorado's largest city is home to a professional women's soccer team. Denver Summit FC is making history not only for the sport, but also for the community.
The rise of women's soccer in the U.S. can be traced back to landmark moments like the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, which drew a record-breaking 90,185 spectators to the Rose Bowl and helped elevate the sport nationwide. Overall, the 1999 Women's World Cup total attendance was 1.19 million.
"I did go to the '99 World Cup game at the Rose Bowl, and what an experience," said Jamie Leeburg, a physical education teacher at Dunstan Middle School in Lakewood and longtime soccer player. "Watching 98,000-plus fans cheering for the United States women's team was phenomenal."
