Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Tourism Star Award Recipient — 2007
Kroenke Sports Enterprises recently scored another winning goal with the opening of Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City this April. The complex, which is the new home of the Colorado Rapids, is the largest and most state-of-the-art professional soccer stadium and field complex in the world, with an 18,000 seat stadium and 24 full-size soccer fields that are attracting thousands of fans, youth soccer players, and adult leagues 365 days a year.
The new complex hosted the 2007 Major League Soccer All-Star Game, one of many sold-out events at the complex this year. That’s proof that fans of the most popular sport in the world are now flooding into the most popular sports city in America to watch world-class soccer teams compete.
The profile of each Tourism Star is reflective of the time of the award.
