CENTENNIAL, CO – Denver Summit FC has announced CommonSpirit Health as the naming rights partner for the club’s state-of-the-art performance center in Centennial.

A Purpose-Built Home for Women’s Soccer
Set to open ahead of the team’s inaugural season, the 20,000-square-foot performance center has been designed specifically to support elite women’s athletes. The facility will feature eight soccer fields, advanced recovery technology, private player facilities, and dedicated dining and family spaces. Its training core will integrate strength and conditioning, sports science, and sports medicine under one roof.
“This is a game-changing moment for Denver Summit FC and for women’s sports in Colorado,” said Jen Millet, President of Denver Summit FC. “The CommonSpirit Performance Center is part of our continued investment in our athletes, our club, and our community.”
Temporary Stadium and 43-Acre Campus
The performance center is part of a broader 43-acre campus in partnership with the City of Centennial and the Cherry Creek School District. The site will include a 12,000-seat temporary stadium where Summit FC will play during the 2026 and 2027 NWSL seasons while a permanent stadium solution advances.
Designed by Populous, with advisory and project management services from CAA ICON, the campus is being delivered with long-term flexibility in mind, capable of phasing future expansion to meet the needs of both the club and the community.

A Community-Focused Partnership
Alongside the naming rights announcement, Denver Summit FC launched the 303 Community Fund, a new initiative in which the club will donate a portion of every partnership’s revenue back to the Denver metro community.
The first donation, a joint $10,000 contribution from Summit FC and CommonSpirit Health, will go to Soccer Without Borders, an organization that uses soccer to empower underserved youth by providing opportunities for growth, inclusion, and personal success.
“We’re honored to partner with Denver Summit FC to bring this incredible, purpose-built facility to life,” said Andrew Gaasch, President of CommonSpirit Health Mountain Region. “This partnership is rooted in our shared belief that community health and opportunity are deeply connected, and this center will advance both.”
Looking Ahead
The CommonSpirit Performance Center underscores the long-term investment being made in Denver’s NWSL franchise and its athletes. As construction continues, the facility is positioned to become both a high-performance hub for the team and a community asset for the wider region.
“This is just the beginning of what we’re building in Colorado,” Millet said. “The CommonSpirit Performance Center is not only a home for our players, it’s a statement of our commitment to women’s sports and to the Denver community.”
