<\/p>\nThe start to any soccer match is fairly innocuous. <\/p>\n
The ball is placed on a dot in the center of the pitch, then a member from one time kicks the ball to a teammate, and the game begins.<\/p>\n
But on Saturday afternoon in San Jose, that mundane beginning took on a much larger meaning. <\/p>\n
As the Denver Summit began their inaugural campaign in the NWSL taking on Bay FC, fans from Colorado traveled to California to support their team. <\/p>\n
Denver7’s Nick Rothschild watched the historic match in the stands with the 14ers supporters group to catalog the moment for fans who couldn’t make the trip .<\/p>\n
Denver Summit fans storm San Jose for first ever NWSL match<\/p>\n
“It was pretty surreal,” says Bill Shrum, a member of the 14ers supporters group. “For all of this being talk for so long, to actually be here and see them in a real kit and playing at a real stadium and everything – it’s like ‘yea man, it’s on!’ I’m loving it.”<\/p>\n
