DENVER — Cleats have not hit the field, but Denver's National Women's Soccer League has already broken a record.
On Monday, Denver NWSL announced that more than 5,200 people made season ticket deposits, just a few days after the announcement about the expansion on Thursday. This broke the NWSL record as the fastest expansion franchise to reach 5,000 deposits, the group said.
"We are thrilled to see the early support for Denver NWSL," said controlling owner Rob Cohen. "Our expansion announcement and celebration with the Denver community was a special moment for our club. We are grateful for the warm welcome and are excited to get to work in building the best soccer club for Denver and all of the Rocky Mountain region."
The Denver NWSL marks the first women's professional sports team in a major national league to call Denver home.

The NWSL announcement last week also included news about "a purpose-built stadium for professional women’s soccer and a dedicated, purpose-built performance facility for female athletes." These details, as well as information about the team name and colors, will be released later.
