Denver is set to establish itself as a key player in women's sports with an expansion NWSL team scheduled to debut in 2026. The team will have a dedicated 14,500-seat stadium at Santa Fe Yards, which will also include a park and mixed-use development. Controlling owner Rob Cohen emphasized that the site was carefully chosen to benefit both the team and the community. The project's transformation of an underutilized area signals a significant investment in women's sports, a point echoed by NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman.
"When we went through all the sites, this is the one that checked all the boxes in terms of what was important to us, what was important to the city..."
"This project at Santa Fe Yards will transform an underutilized eyesore into a recreational and economic hub where memories are made, culture is built, and championships are won."
"This announcement is a game-changer for the NWSL and a bold statement about where women's sports are headed..."
