Colorado Rapids History

The Colorado Rapids are among the original 10 charter clubs of Major League Soccer, debuting in its inaugural season in 1996. It didn't take long for the Western Conference contenders to establish themselves as one of the premier teams in the league. They made it to the MLS Cup final in just their second season and earned eight playoff berths in their first 10 years of play. 

In 2010, the Rapids made their second trip to the MLS Cup Final and defeated FC Dallas in a dramatic, come-from-behind 2-1 victory for their first championship. Since then, the team has made several playoff runs and topped the Western Conference following the 2021 regular season.

Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park

The Colorado Rapids shared home turf with the Denver Broncos in their early years. In 2007, the team moved into a state-of-the-art facility to call their own: Dick's Sporting Goods Park, a 19,000-seat capacity stadium located in the suburb of Commerce City. As was the case at Mile High, the venue's exceedingly high altitude — 5,200 feet above sea level — has given the Rapids a considerable home-field advantage, with the club winning roughly two thirds of the games held in their own backyard.

The relocation coincided with a wholesale rebranding, with the team introducing their current mountain-themed logo and a change in uniform colors from black and blue to burgundy and sky blue, to match the other professional sports franchises owned by Kroenke Sports Enterprises, whose roster includes the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, the NBA's Denver Nuggets, and English Premier League soccer team Arsenal FC.
