Dick's Sporting Goods Park is located in Commerce City, Colorado and is home to the Colorado Rapids professional soccer team. It can seat up to 18,000 people, yet can also accommodate up to 25,000 for certain events and is built on over 360 acres (1.5 km²) of land. Also included at the venue are youth soccer fields, retail development, and a new Commerce City civic center. It is owned by Kroenke Sports Enterprises (KSE) who also own the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Crush and The Colorado Mammoth. The estimated cost of this project was $130 million, with investment shared equally between the city and KSE.
The complex is close to Denver's former Stapleton International Airport and is bordered on the north, east, south, and west by Highway 2, Colorado Wildlife Refuge, 56th Avenue, and Quebec Street, respectively.
A November press release revealed that the stadium will be officially named "Dick's Sporting Goods Park". [1]
