Denver NWSL Team to Build 14,500-Seat Stadium and Entertainment District by 2028

The privately funded project at Santa Fe Yards represents the largest investment in a women's professional sports team and includes plans for expansion and community integration.

  • The Denver NWSL team, which begins play in 2026, announced plans for a 14,500-seat purpose-built stadium set to open in spring 2028.
  • The stadium will anchor a 14-acre mixed-use entertainment district at Santa Fe Yards, incorporating a park, retail spaces, and community-focused design.
  • The project will be privately funded by the ownership group, which paid a record $110 million expansion fee to join the league.
  • The stadium design, created by architectural firm Populous, includes an open end overlooking green space and the potential for expansion to 20,000 seats.
  • The Denver City Council is expected to finalize the land deal for the project in the coming weeks, with temporary playing arrangements for 2026 yet to be announced.
