Greenberg Traurig Assists Denver Summit FC in Securing City Approval for New Stadium Development
Soccer stadium is scheduled to open in 2028 in Denver's urban core
DENVER, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP represented Denver Summit FC, Colorado's new National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) franchise, in securing approvals from the Denver City Council for the development of a 14,500-seat stadium in the city's Santa Fe Yards area.
The City Council voted Dec. 22 in favor of a package of bills designed to support the project, including rezoning the property to allow for a stadium to be built on the site and providing $70 million in public funding for land acquisition and infrastructure upgrades.
Greenberg Traurig attorneys assisted in the rezoning and negotiated agreements with the city and special district where the stadium will be located to provide funds for the land and make the project eligible for tax increment financing reimbursement.
"This is a transformative project for women's soccer, women's sports, and the city as a whole, and Greenberg Traurig is honored to help the Denver Summit team move it forward from franchise award through construction and opening day," Denver Real Estate Shareholders Kevin H. Kelley and Andrea Austin, members of the firm's Sports Facilities & Entertainment Venues Practice, said in a joint statement.
