DENVER — The Denver Summit open their inaugural DFL season today with Denver's Day, a free citywide celebration culminating in the franchise's first home game at 4 PM at The Peak — the largest stadium in the league and its only Level 2 venue, seating 10,000 fans.

"Today belongs to Denver," said owner Lila Grant. "We didn't build this team for a luxury box. We built it for the whole city—so whether you have a ticket or you're cheering from the curb, today is yours."

The day begins at 11 AM with the Summit Parade through downtown, featuring the team, head coach Scott Harwood, hometown quarterback Evander Holt, local marching bands, drill teams, and civic groups. At 12:30 PM, The Peak Festival opens on the stadium grounds—free and open to all—with local food vendors, Colorado breweries, live music, a kids' zone, and a Founders banner fans can sign to hang inside the stadium.

Gates open at 3 PM for The First Ascent, a pregame ceremony marking the debut of the league's flagship venue, honoring Denver's first responders and youth, before a 4 PM kickoff.

Grant will also announce the Summit Community Fund, dedicated to Denver youth football and school athletics, along with a block of season tickets set aside for local youth programs so every child has a chance to be in the stands.

"A team is only as strong as the city behind it," Grant said. "Denver showed up for us. We intend to spend this whole season showing up for Denver."

Kickoff is set for 4 PM today at The Peak.
