Denver Summit FC is playing its inaugural NWSL season after being accepted as an expansion team. The new team hosted its first home game on Saturday at Empower Field at Mile High, and fans showed up in droves, to say the least.
The Summit smashed the NWSL attendance record on Saturday as 63,004 fans filled the stands at the stadium. The previous record was made just last year by Bay FC when 40,091 fans attended a game they held at Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. This means Denver broke the record by nearly 23,000 fans—that’s no small feat.
