CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Denver Summit FC kicks off its first match at its temporary Centennial Stadium home on Saturday, July 18, against the Portland Thorns — and with up to 12,000 spectators expected, fans need a plan to get there.
On-site reserved parking at the temporary stadium is extremely limited. The team is partnering with Arapahoe County, the Cherry Creek School District, and a handful of Centennial-based companies to offer several off-site parking options, most of which are within walking distance of the stadium.

When asked how they plan to get to matches, the couple said they are keeping their options open.
"Any way we can get there," Gaona said. "Maybe Uber sometimes."
The two recently welcomed a daughter and said they plan to bring her to games as she gets older.
"We're super sports fans, so definitely we want to start young, and we're very excited," Gaona said.
Altman said the team's arrival means more than just soccer for the region.
"It's amazing to have our own team and just really empowers women all over the state to support us and come out for the team," Altman said.
The Summit's home opener against the Portland Thorns is Saturday, July 18, at Centennial Stadium.
The team’s permanent home in a new stadium at Santa Fe Yards is planned to be completed for the 2028 season.
The 14,500-seat venue at I-25 and Broadway is set to become the second dedicated professional women’s soccer stadium in the country.
