NWSL Denver’s $70 Million Project Overcomes Major Obstacle to Make Huge Impact on Women’s Soccer’s Future

“I don’t believe this stadium will ever be built… I wish that I did,” remarked Denver City Councilwoman Sarah Parady, seemingly crushing the dreams of the 16th NWSL franchise during an initial meeting where the club unveiled its ambitious $70 million stadium project. At the time, it felt like they had hit a brick wall—like their much-anticipated dream was about to go up in smoke. But now, it seems there’s finally some good news on the horizon.

Earlier, they announced its plans to build a 14,500-seat stadium and entertainment complex at Santa Fe Yards. Located on Broadway and Interstate 25, it would span 14 acres, with the entire design project led by the architectural firm Populous. Yet, concerns were recently raised during a South Platte River Committee meeting about the project’s financial implications and rushed decisions.

However, the second meeting seems to have won the motion for confidence. As per the latest reports from The Denver Post, the majority of the City Council members are not skeptical about the project anymore. “I think in the last meeting, they just didn’t have enough information and weren’t comfortable,” said Rob Cohen, the owner of the latest NWSL franchise.
