DENVER, CO — Denver Summit Football Club has selected Mortenson as construction manager for its new stadium at Santa Fe Yards in Colorado. The venue will be the second stadium in the country built specifically for a women’s professional soccer team.
The stadium will serve as the anchor of a new sports and entertainment district. The $225 million, open-air stadium will feature approximately 14,500 seats under a canopy designed by Populous, with project management by CAA ICON. Mortenson will begin preconstruction activities immediately with full construction starting in spring 2026.
"This stadium represents our commitment to building a world-class home for women's soccer and creating a venue that reflects the passion of our supporters," Summit FC President Jen Millet said. "Mortenson's proven track record in sports facility development and their dedication to delivering exceptional venues makes them the ideal partner for this transformative project."
"Mortenson has deep roots in both Denver and sports construction. This, combined with our passion for creating opportunities for women, make this partnership a natural fit," said Maja Ericksen, Executive Vice President at Mortenson. "Santa Fe Yards represents the future of Denver's urban landscape, and we're proud to help build a venue that will become a cornerstone of this district while elevating women's professional soccer on a national stage."
The project is expected to create a multitude of construction jobs and generate significant economic impact for the region. The stadium will incorporate sustainable design features in pursuit of LEED Silver certification.
