Denver Summit smash NWSL attendance record at debut home game

March 30 – Denver Summit FC promised they were going to break the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) attendance records and going into their first home game in their inaugural season this weekend they did it.

63,004 fans packed Empower Field on Saturday for Summit’s match against Washington Spirit, shattering the previous record of 40,091 set by Bay FC at Oracle Park last year.

The league has existed since 2013. An expansion club in its first weeks of existence just rewrote its history.
