Denver NWSL made headlines Monday morning by announcing plans to build a new stadium and recreational district for the city’s professional women’s soccer expansion team. According to the proposal, the stadium will be constructed at Santa Fe Yards, marking Colorado’s first-ever purpose-built stadium and entertainment district for a professional women’s sports team. The venue is projected to open in 2028.
“This will be the largest overall investment in a women’s professional sports team in history. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to leverage this massive private investment to revitalize and transform Santa Fe Yards into a new hub of thriving community activity, a place for outdoor recreation, restaurants, retail, and for building connections with our community,” said Denver NWSL controlling owner Rob Cohen.
The stadium will have a capacity of around 14,500. The development will feature a 3.5-acre park and a dynamic mixed-use space, further integrating sports with Denver’s cultural and economic landscape.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said “It’s only fitting that the hottest ticket in town will be making its home on Broadway. 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.”
Denver NWSL is set to join the league in the 2026 season as the NWSL’s 16th franchise, but with these newly released renderings, fans already have plenty to be excited about.
