Denver Summit and Washington Spirit Draw 0-0 Before a Record NWSL Crowd of 63,004

On Saturday, expansion club Denver Summit FC played its inaugural home match against the Washington Spirit at Empower Field at Mile High, drawing a record-breaking 63,004 fans.
NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman called the turnout "nothing short of amazing," crediting Denver Summit control owner Rob Cohen for his "unrelenting focus on execution" in launching the franchise 14 months ago.
Attendance shattered the previous league record of 40,091 set last year by Bay FC at Oracle Park; the club surpassed 40,000 tickets sold on February 3 and broke 50,000 on March 11.
The match ended in a scoreless draw before a crowd that filled the stadium's lower and second levels, while supporter group the 14ers marched to the venue beforehand.
Denver Summit FC will move to Centennial Stadium in July as it awaits a permanent venue, hoping this momentum continues while navigating its inaugural season in the 16-team league.
