What it means for Denver Summit FC to smash the NWSL attendance record

It was another record-breaking weekend in the NWSL. While we’ve got used to professional women’s sports attendance records getting smashed every year, this one felt quite different.

When Denver Summit FC took on the Washington Spirit Saturday afternoon, 63,004 people showed up to Empower Field at Mile High, eclipsing the record set by Bay FC season at Oracle Park by more than 22,000 fans. So, what does it mean for the NWSL and women’s sports in the U.S. to have Denver to enter the league with such a spectacle?

On this episode of the Full Time Review, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by three different voices who all coalesced at the Summit’s inaugural home opener to witness history. Hear from Summit cofounder, broadcaster, and former NWSL player Jordan Angeli, The Athletic’s Tamerra Griffin in the press box, and co-host of the Summit Up podcast, Hallie Guardo, fresh from the stands.
