New, on Denver's NWSL stadium deal: Decades of research show that when cities shell out millions of dollars to build stadiums, they rarely recoup their costs — and the local economies see limited growth. For some, that's not the point. #copolitics denverpost.com/2025/05/04/den…

In my limited time covering Denver’s City Council, I’ve never seen the chamber this full. It’s a big night as the council is deciding whether to spend $70 million on a stadium for the city’s new women’s pro soccer team. #denver
