Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Soccer stadium in Commerce City, United States
Dick's Sporting Goods Park is a soccer stadium in Commerce City, Colorado, home of the Colorado Rapids. Its green-seated stands are topped by five flat roof canopies carried on tall steel beams that curve up and inward over the seating, and a metal lattice floodlight tower rises on one side. Advertising boards with white text on dark backgrounds, including HONDA and PANASONIC, run along the field-facing side of the stands.
The stadium opened in April 2007 and gave the team its own home for the first time after more than a decade of playing in large multipurpose arenas. Since then it has served as the club's permanent home and has hosted several national and international matches.
The venue takes its name from a major sporting goods retailer and reflects the growing interest in soccer in a region traditionally known for other sports. Many families gather here to support their local team, and the stands fill with fans wearing club colors on match days.
Visitors will find ample parking near the main entrance, and the facility is accessible for wheelchair users. On match days it helps to arrive early, as lines at the gates often grow longer shortly before kickoff.
At just over 1,600 meters above sea level, the stadium is the highest venue regularly used by MLS teams. In North American competitions it is called Commerce City Stadium because of advertising rules. Its video board has shown pixelation and color inconsistency in photos since at least 2022.
