The National Women’s Soccer League has solidified its legacy as the Denver Summit made history during their very first home match.
While the game ended in a 0-0 draw against the Washington Spirit, the atmosphere in the Mile High City remained electric, with over 63,000 fans filling Empower Field.
This crowd not only set a new attendance record for the NWSL but also marked the largest turnout ever for a women’s professional sporting event in the United States.
