In sports, Denver is home to the [[NHL]]'s [[Colorado Avalanche]], the [[NFL]]'s [[Denver Broncos]], [[MLB]]'s [[Colorado Rockies]], and the [[NBA]]'s [[Denver Nuggets]]. Denver is the smallest city to house teams from all four major sports franchises (it is successful due to being the center of a much larger metropolitan market as well as the largest city in several states).
Other teams include the Colorado Rapids (MLS), The Colorado Crush (AFL), and The Colorado Mammoth (Indoor Lacrosse) and The Colorado Outlaws (Outdoor Lacrosse).
The Denver Broncos have played in six super bowls and won two. Voters in 1998 raised $270 million in taxes to build the $360 million Invesco Field at Mile High, a new football stadium. In 2001 it joined Coors Field, which opened for Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies in 1995, the Pepsi Center, which opened as the new home of the NHL Colorado Avalanche and the NBA Denver Nuggets in October 1999 and Dick's Sporting Goods Park, home of the Rapids, opened in 2006. Denver's Lower Downtown district (referred to as LODO), has been attracting new residents and businesses to the downtown area.
