Tornado wipes out two homes, causes $500,000 in damage BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Weld County officials said the June 7 tornado that started in Firestone caused about $500,000 to businesses and property during its trek through parts of southwest Weld County. Two homes were destroyed, amounting to $429,000 in damage. Three other homes sustained damage to at least 50 percent of the structure, according to county officials. The cost of the damage to those homes is a bit more than $100,000. The tornado also hit two businesses, a feedlot and a dairy. Weld County officials said a fire sparked from a downed power line destroyed one building at the feedlot while another building loss was the direct result of the tornado. Damage to the dairy was limited to the roof, outbuildings and livestock. County officials said the tornado traveled about six miles and was on the ground for about a half-hour. The tornado also blew over some power lines and dislodged at least one piece of plywood that sailed into a tree. No people were injured, but two cattle at the local dairy farm died. The large tornado dropped down near Weld County roads 19 and 28 shortly after 5 p.m. A family driving home from the class 4A regional golf tournament in Greeley had to turn around on U.S. Highway 85 and wait out the storm in a place of safety. “I was in the house,” said resident Mark McKinney. “A buddy I work with lives up the road. He called me and said there was a tornado over the top of the house. It just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger.” The storm continued northeast, damaging the Cottonwood Dairy on WCR 26 and continuing toward Platteville. A storm chaser said two cows died.

A roof carried by the tornado barely missed a vehicle on June 7 at the house across from the dairy at 9078 County Road 26.

ROMERO

FIORINO

Armando J. Romero

EMILIO E. (LEE) FIORINO

July 15, 1939 ~ June 6, 2021 Armando John Romero age 81, passed away on June 6, 2021 at his home in Brighton, Colorado. He was born July 15, 1939 in Fort Garland, Colorado to Reverend Manuel and Dorothy Romero, who preceded him in death along with his brother Donald and his sister Linda. He spent his early childhood growing up in Fort Garlard. He told us tales of sheriffs riding white horses, riding horse drawn wagons with his grandmother, and going to the well with his sister Emma. He became the Domingo-kid one day when his mother gave him some coins and sent him with his sister to the local drug store. He knew what he wanted but did not know exactly how to say it in English. So, he told the shop keeper he wanted two ice cream domingos. From that day on the shop keeper called him the domingo kid. Armando moved to Pueblo, Colorado with his parents where he finished growing up. He had his first business shining shoes at the D&M Cigar Store. He met the love of his life Beatrice in junior high school. In 1956, Armando and Beatrice got married. At the age of sixteen, Armando joined the Army. His Army career did not last long as they figured out his age and he was discharged. Upon returning home, Armando and Beatrice had two children, John and Carol. Armando was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia on the USS Forrestal. Armando was deployed several times to the Mediterranean. Armando and Beatrice had their third child Dorothy. In 1961, Armando served on the USS Forrestal during the Cuban Missile Crisis. After the Navy, Armando settled in Cheyenne, Wyoming with his wife and their children. This is where he started a career in the auto industry. Armando was the Service Manager for Klipstien Automotive. He owned a brand-new Plymouth Fury and would drive it back and forth from Cheyenne to Pueblo. He said it would take him about two and half hours back then. In 1965, Armando took his family on vacation to San Francisco. While driving around Haight Ashbury they saw many hippies everywhere. Armando would spend the rest of the 1960’s in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Armando moved back to Pueblo in the 1970’s where he would finish raising his family. He continued his career in the auto industry as a Service Manager. Every month he would get to drive around a new dealer demo vehicle. Armando loved to socialize and was a member of the G.I. Forum and the Moose Lodge where he was a bartender in his spare time. In the late 1970’s, Armando decided to start his own auto repair business. Armand’s Auto Service was successful and lasted into the early 1980’s. With economic times of the 1980’s and his daughters moving to Denver. Armando decided to move to Brighton, Colorado to be close to his new grandsons. Armando got back into the automotive industry and worked for Al Smith Chevrolet. Armando would go on to become the Service Manager for Town and Country Auto Dealership.

In 1990, Armando went to work for Hyland Hills where he held many different job titles. He was an event bus driver and got to experience all of what Colorado had to offer. He took people to sporting events, concerts, plays, and all kinds of different Colorado experiences. He would get tickets to Water World and Adventure Golf and would take his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews every summer. He was able to build his house in Brighton right down the street from his three grandsons. His proudest moment was when his grandson, Andre got his first job working with him at Hyland Hills Water World. In the 2000’s, Armando helped each of his grandsons start a lawn mowing business during their teen years. Then, he saw his life’s hard work pay dividends in the form of his grandchildren graduating from college. Armando decided to retire from Hyland Hills and went to work at the Brighton Recreation Center for fun. While working at the recreation center he met and made friends with all kinds of people. Each and every one of them looked up to him as a mentor. In 2008, Armando and his wife, after working hard on his campaign, got to meet President Barack Obama when he came through Brighton. Armando was so happy and excited. During the 2010’s, Armando and his grandson, Tommy turned his shed into a barbershop. When he retired from the recreation center, he started giving free haircuts. He enjoyed spending his days cutting hair for people around the neighborhood. Armando would continue to give car advise to his grandchildren. He taught his grandchildren how to work on their cars. Armando would become a great-great grandfather getting to experience seven generations in his life time. Armando is survived by his wife of 65 years Beatrice Romero. His son John (Mary Lou) Romero, and his daughters Carol (Tom) Lucero and Dorothy (Moses) Hermosillo. Seven grandchildren, Ninka Romero, Lisa (Estevan) Medina, Andre, Joseph and Thomas Lucero, Stephanie and Katie Hermosillo.

1/18/1925 - 5/22/2021

Lee lived a long, healthful, prolific and vibrant life until his passing on May 22, 2021 at age 96. Born of Italian immigrants Emilio Fiorino and Ernestina Tessitore Fiorino in Little Italy, New York City on January 18, 1925, he served with the 204th Combat Engineers in Europe during WWII. After the war, he met the Love of his life, M. Madeleine Turgeon, and married her on September 24, 1949. As a young draftsman, he was selected to draw up safety upgrades for the Empire State Building’s observation deck. Recruited by renowned Denver architect Temple Buell, he moved in 1955 from NYC to Colorado to realize his ambition of becoming a prominent architect himself, and to raise a family in the wide open spaces of the West. In 1965 he designed and built a custom home for his fast growing family near Parker, CO. His several architectural design creations include Denver’s Tiffany Plaza. He retired to Tucson AZ, fulfilling a lifelong dream of living in the desert. There he continued his passion for photography and watercolor painting,

receiving several local and national awards for his work. His deep, abiding love and appreciation of music was a hallmark of his life and inspired the same within each of his children. A man of impeccable integrity, he was dearly loved by many and will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Madeleine, their 5 children, Robert, Paul, Michelle, John, and Ted, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his name to the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association at www.rmdsa.org/ donate, which happens to be located in the Majestic Building that he designed. Celebrations of Life will be held on Saturday July 10th at 2:00 pm in Tucson AZ at the SaddleBrooke Mountain View Ballroom and Sunday July 18th at 4:00 pm in Denver at the Eisenhower Chapel 293 Roslyn St. For more information about Lee or the Celebration of Life go to bit.ly/ EEFiorino.

Infected skunks found in Weld County

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Five rabid skunks have been found between Milliken and Platteville, according to Weld County Health officials. One infected skunk was east of Platteville, and two more also tested positive in the areas of Dacono, Frederick and Erie in the last few months, according to officials.All of the rabid skunks and four dogs found in the county displayed aggressive behavior, according to the

county. Health officials warned that any animal, domestic or wild, including humans, are at risk of infection if comes in contact with a rabid skunk. Dogs, cats, horses and livestock that are not vaccinated are at risk of exposure to rabies. According to health officials, rabies can infect wild animals such as raccoons, bats, coyotes and foxes. Rabies vaccines are available at a licensed veterinarian, a low-cost rabies vaccines clinic at the humane society or at local farm and ranch

stores.

The symptoms of rabies Rabies is a virus that attacks the nervous system with brain and spinal inflammation. If not treated it can cause death. The virus is transmitted through saliva with a bite or through an open wound or scratch, according to health officials. An animal that is usually active a night that is seen during the day and is having difficultly moving could be rabid. Another sign is salvia and drooling from the mouth and ag-

gressive behavior attacking domestic animals and livestock. To prevent rabies transmission, do not touch, handle or feed wild animals and be wary of stray dogs and cats. If a pet is in a fight with a wild animal do not touch the pet and quickly bathe the salvia off them in case the wild animal is infected. The infected saliva can transmit the rabies virus to humans so immediately contact medical officials if a human or animal comes in contact with a rabid skunk.

Charges not filed in garage sale mix-up STAFF REPORTS

BRIGHTON –The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office will not file charges against a man involved in a dispute at a garage sale. The incident happened in Westminster on June 5. The DA’s office said the victim believed Armando Valdez Gonzalez stole the bag with money she was using to carry cash for a yard sale. Gonzalez reportedly

told the woman and her husband that the bag belonged to him. The couple tried to prevent Gonzalez from leaving. The suspect, who was in the front seat of his truck, drove away. As he did, the woman fell to the ground and was injured, according to a press statement. DA spokesman Chris Hopper said Gonzalez called police to tell them about the incident. He told police that he didn’t steal the bag of

money. Gonzalez’ wife also gave her husband’s bag to police for review. Hopper said the bag is one Gonzalez normally carries when he visits garage sales. “The female homeowner also reviewed the bag and confirmed it was not hers,” Hopper said. “The woman’s husband later called police to inform them that they had, in fact, found their bag from the yard sale.”

Hopper said Gonzalez did not commit a crime and he took “every opportunity to contact the appropriate authorities.” “There is no basis for the filing of criminal charges against Mr. Valdez Gonzalez,” hopper said. “The homeowners were informed, understood and agreed with the decision.”

Surprise tornado prompts questions about warnings County, weather service, urging residents to sign up for phone alerts BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many Weld County residents didn’t recieve any kind of warning when a tornado swept through area west of Fort Lupton June 7, according to a press release by Weld County officials. Several residents contacted the county, worried they were not warned ahead of time, according to the release. “If people are living 30 to 40 miles away from the tornado path and can see the tornado, they will not receive an alert warning. Only residents who are in imminent danger in the path of the tornado will receive the warning alerts,” said David Barjenbruch, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder. The Weld County Emergency Management department suggests residents sign up each spring for CodeRed Alerts and also answer questions about the warning alerts.

then there was thunder lightning. it must have lasted 25 minutes.” “It was terrifying,” said Karyn Weiner, whose home was in the path of the tornado when it started. “I was at my kids’ school over in Frederick, picking them up and bringing them home. I was backing out, saw the tornado out my back window. Then I hopped out and took a video.” Her house survived, but her outbuildings did not. “We lost a lot of trees,” she said. “There’s a job site just south of us. Their trailer is up against our house. It’s about 10 feet away from the house. I don’t know how it didn’t get into our house. There’s plywood up in the trees.” Weiner said the tornado looked

The county uses CodeRed for emergency alerts that impacts public safety such as active shooter, major accidents, flood warnings, or major infrastructure issues. Weld County does not issue weather alerts through CodeRed. The weather alerts come directly from the National Weather Service through CodeRed. Weld County landlines are programmed into the CodeRed system to receive message alerts. When a cell phone is registered with the CodeRed system, there is an option to receive the weather alerts. An additional warning alert tool is called IPAWS, used by the Federal Emergency Management System that dispatches Amber Alerts and also the National Weather Service alerts. The difference between the IPAWS and CodeRed is the CodeRed system is connected to a physical address, such as a landline. Cell phones are registered with the CodeRed system. When a severe weather event occurs, the CodeRed automatically sends a warning message within the mapping area of registered cell phones and landlines of people who live and work in Weld County. The IPAWS system signals off cell

phone towers in any physical area using wireless emergency alerts through cell phones. It alerts people who live in Weld County and also people who are visiting and traveling through an impacted area of Weld County. According to Weld County officials, IPAWS can be used for specific occurrences but does not send weather alerts. The National Weather Service is only approved to send out the weather alerts. Sirens The tornado sirens are to alert people if there is a danger of severe weather while working or playing outside. When residents are indoors, they should rely on television, a NOAA radio, cell phone or internet to get information about the severe weather and instructions on safety, according to Weld County officials. A written statement by the Fort Lupton Fire District talked about how the warning siren is used. “They are not meant to warn people who are indoors or asleep. They are not meant to be your only source of warning information. They are designed to alert people who are outdoors that potentially dangerous weather is imminent and

that you should get inside and seek additional information,” the statement said Not all communities within Weld County use the outdoor tornado siren, according to Weld County officials. The towns of Frederick and Firestone do not use the tornado siren to warn people working outdoors or at work. Officials in Frederick also suggest signing up for the emergency CodeRed alerts. In a written statement, the Frederick-Firestone Fire District encouraged residents to be proactive in ensuring they get notified of emergencies in the are, whether they are indoors or outdoors. “The alerts go out as soon as information is known,” the statement said. “The National Weather Service relies on local weather spotters to provide information, since radar may not show exact locations or rely on what is happening on the ground.” To learn more about the weather spotter program, visit https://www. weather.gov/SKYWARN. Or register to receive alerts at www.Weld911alert.com.

like a landspout at first. “I got a really cool picture of it from far away,” she said. “It looked so tiny. I didn’t think it would do that much damage. It was just a baby. But it sat for four or five minutes.” McKinney’s wife, Sandy, said they went to the front door once they learned about the tornado. “Then the alarm went off afterward,” she said. “We never had an alarm until it was to the neighbors, and she said she didn’t get an alarm either. It happened so fast. In the house, you couldn’t hear anything until it was right in front of the house.” The National Weather Service rated the tornado as an EF-1 on the Fujita scale with winds of 99 mph. The storm was on the ground for 7 miles and was 50 yards wide in places. It started two miles northeast of Firestone and ended three miles northwest of Platteville.

Sweeping transportation bill goes to governor Fees expected to generate billions to tackle backlog of projects BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado lawmakers on June 2 sent Senate Bill 260, a sprawling transportation fee and spending measure, to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk, taking one of the most extensive steps in years toward paying for the state’s lagging infrastructure. Polis supported the measure and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, was expected to sign it into law. The bill deals with more than $5 billion over the next decade and emphasizes an electricvehicle future, as well as mass transit, including a potential Front Range passenger rail system. The legislation will use new fees on the purchase of gasoline and diesel fuel, and on deliveries and rideshare trips, to generate billions of dollars to tackle Colorado’s long list of transportation projects. It also directs hundreds of millions of state budget funds to transportation projects, while requiring the Colorado Department of Transportation to consider greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals when planning new construction. Senate Bill 260 was mostly backed by Democrats at the Capitol, who claimed the legislation represented a fair, balanced approach to moving the state’s transportation system forward. House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver, called his bill “the best solution for transportation funding that the state has ever had in the past 10 years.” “This anticipates the future,” he said. “That’s what legislation should do in this state.” Republicans, however, see the measure as an attempt to skirt the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which requires voter approval for tax increases.

upset that the bill undoes a bipartisan deal reached in 2018 at the Legislature to ask voters to approve $1.3 billion in bonds for transportation projects. Senate Bill 260 cancels the ballot question. There are also GOP concerns about how the measure increases the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights cap, the limit on how much tax revenue the state can keep and spend, by $225 million after it was lowered by that amount (minus inflation) in a bipartisan deal in 2017. The measure was sent to Polis’ desk after winning final approval in the Colorado House on June 2 by a 40-24 vote with one lawmaker excused. The Senate then approved changes to the bill, advancing it to the governor’s desk. The new fees imposed by the bill include: A 2-cents-per-gallon fee on gasoline and diesel fuel starting in July 2022 that increases 1 cent every year up to 8 cents A 27-cent fee on deliveries, including those from Amazon, FedEx and Grubhub

A 30-cents-per-trip fee on Uber and Lyft rides starting in 2022 that would increase based on the federal Consumer Price Index. The fee would be cut in half for people carpooling in a rideshare, or riding in an electric vehicle. While the passage of Senate Bill 260 was expected since the measure’s introduction in early May, it represents a major win for Democrats who promised to use their majorities in the House and Senate to tackle a long-elusive issue. “I think this is something that should have been done years ago, if not decades ago,” said Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat and prime sponsor of the transportation bill. “And we have a lot of catching up to do as a state and I think this is a huge down payment on getting us on a more sustainable path.” It’s not going to solve the problem, Fenberg said. But it will prevent the problem from continuing to worsen. A large portion of the bill’s spending —$380 million — will

Youth mental health services in crisis As suicide attempts are rising for children and teenagers, mental health experts declare state of emergency BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With suicide attempts on the rise, and emergency rooms statewide filling up with psychiatric patients, Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC) declared a state of emergency last week. During a special roundtable discussion on May 25, health experts said they are seeing dramatic increases in young patients suffering from depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation and social disconnectedness. Hospital beds are filling up, resources are running low and more help from the county, state and federal levels are needed. According to statistics provided in the hour-long discussion, the leading cause of death for kids and young adults, starting at age 10, is suicide in Colorado. According to 2021 data from Mental Health America, Colorado ranks 42nd in youth mental health services. CHC has hospitals and services throughout the Denver Metro Area, including locations in Arapahoe, Jefferson, Douglas, Denver, and Adams counties. In Aurora, at the main regional campus in Aurora, the 52-bed emergency department is now overrun with youth in crisis. Emergency visits have gone up 90% last month, compared to the same normal time in 2019. In declaring a pediatric mental health state of emergency, CEO Jena Hausmann said CHC has worked more than decade to expand facilities, programs, and beds to serve mental/behavioral health issues for children and teenagers. However, she noted, it is not enough with the continual increase in patients starting in 2020 and continuing at an even faster pace in 2021. “Now we are seeing our pediatric emergency departments and inpatient pediatric units overrun with kids attempting suicide and suffering from other major mental-health illness,” Hausmann said. “The current system is unsustainable, and it is hurting our children. Our children need us to rally together.” Dr. Janna Glover, CHC director of psychology training, said even though society is seeing COVID issues improve, the impacts on children and teenagers are going to continue. “Kids have dealt with chronic stress in the past year that a has interrupted their development and education,” she said. “Now, kids are asked to get back to life again and they feel completely unprepared. They are burnt out and they feel so behind that they do not know how to catch up. They feel a sense of hopelessness.” Glover said hopelessness is the top predictor of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.

Through tears, David Brumbaugh, the CHC chief medical officer, said some of the cases hit too close to home. Brumbaugh said he had a ninth-grade patient who attempted suicide after failing to make the baseball team. Brumbaugh said his own son is in ninth grade and plays baseball. Brumbaugh said in his 20 years of treating pediatric patients, he has never seen such a high demand for mental health services. The stress on the system started about 15 months ago, Brumbaugh said, and the last three to four months have been even worse. “Our kids have run out of resilience,” he said. “We are seeing kids who were largely functional and now the floor is falling out. They are attempting suicide.” Patricia Givens, the chief nursing officer for CHC, said, “We are tapped out in all areas. We cannot build enough beds to keep pace with demand.” Givens said hospitals are seeing children as young as 8 years old attempting suicide. CHC experts said a lot of the problems in are rural communities where training in schools and services are lacking. With hospitals throughout the state, officials of CHC said beds once being used to treat patients with physical injuries and illnesses are being converted into beds for patients presenting with behavioral health issues. Besides treating patients who have attempted suicide, hospitals are seeing an increase in patients suffering from eating disorders and presenting with symptoms associated with substance abuse. What is the answer? Many of the health experts said it is going to require partnerships with county

governments, health departments, school districts and state and federal agencies. Heidi Baskfield, CHC vice president of population health and advocacy, said it is going to require more funding. It is going to require more work to reach children or teens in crisis before they attempt suicide and put pressure on the healthcare system. Mike DiStefano, chief medical officer in Colorado Springs, said a major focus must be placed on prevention where outpatient services intercept children in crisis long before they attempt suicide. Preventative services are also in crisis. Over the last few years, Baskfield said 47 facilities across the state closed. These are facilities that

have traditionally provided mental healthcare to children and teenagers. “At a time when we are seeing volumes increase, severity increase and overall need, the system that is meant to be in place to serve these kids not only does not exist but those attempting to do this work are underwater and overwhelmed,” Baskfield said. While not present during the roundtable discussion, Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas said they want to be the example other communities across the state can follow. In 2017, Douglas County started F investing more than $1 million per @ E year into mental-health services, P creating a Community Response 3 Team. In 2019, the county created the Youth Community Response C Team after more than 40% of the calls for help were for residents 19 G @ and under. N Thomas said the partnerships T health experts are calling for can work statewide and the CRT proJ gram is proof. Douglas County @ suicide rates are decreasing, part- L nerships with local organizations, A especially the Douglas County School District, have gone up, she R said. @ “We want to take the success we G have had here statewide,” she said. D “For us, the good news is we are ready to handle the crisis with our youth.”

Fair season looms for Good Luck 4H Good Luck 4-H News BY LARAMIE DAVIS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Wow! Our 4-H pre-fair year is almost coming to an end, and the Good Luck 4-H kids are working hard to have their projects finished and ready to exhibit at the Adams

County Fair, this August. At our May 4-H Saturday, Good Luck 4-H Club leader Gloria Cundall invited a special guest, Sarah Fox - a former representative of an animal feed company - to talk about all kinds of animals including sheep, horses, cows, chickens, goats, etc., and the proper feed and nutrition neefds for each. Many of our 4-H members and

parents showed up to listen to her speak. We all learned about animal safety, how to properly weigh your animals and how to raise baby chicks! Not only that, but we were all able to earn prizes throughout. I interviewed some of the 4-H members who attended her presentation, and all of them said that “she really educated us on our animals

and we can make some changes to what we do.”. There was such a positive outcome, and I think we all learned some very valuable things, even if we didn’t have farm/ranch animals! Be sure to watch for additional Good Luck 4-H Club articles as we get prepared for the Adams County Fair.

World Cup could come to Denver in 2026 Nothing certain yet, but speculation falls on Empower Field at Mile High BY PAOLO ZIALCITA DENVERITE

The dramatic win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League Final on June 6 was huge for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team and its supporters. A bigger victory could be coming for the host city, though, when FIFA officials choose hosts for the 2026 Men’s World Cup. The 2026 World Cup — soccer’s most prestigious competition — will be jointly hosted by 16 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of America’s 17 candidates, only 10 will make the final list. Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High is one of them. The Nations League semifinals, third-place game and final were moved to Empower Field from Texas in late April, due to coronavirus complications. For many Coloradans, the weekend was a chance to show FIFA why Denver is the right stage for the international competition. “I think this game was really important for us to show how big the fan base is. You can’t just look at a Rapids game and say, `That’s the entire fan base,’” said Robert Wilson, president of American Outlaws Denver, U.S. Soccer’s official supporters group. “There’s a lot more people here that

will go up, especially for a game here at Mile High, downtown.” Both USMNT games at Mile High were sold out, though there was still limited capacity due to the pandemic. The June 6 third-place game between Honduras and Costa Rica sold out, as did the June 3 semifinal between Mexico and Costa Rica. American Outlaws Denver’s Hallie Guardo said those games needed to go well, too, because there’s no guarantee the USMNT will even play in Denver if it’s chosen as a host city. She said fans of the sport needed to prove they’ll turn up for any World Cup game, regardless of the teams playing. “We’ve got a lot of different cultures represented that would turn out for any team that’s playing,” she said. American Outlaws national board member Donald Wine flew in from Washington, D.C. to watch the Nations League final. He said he’s been impressed with Denver whenever international play comes to the city and that he wouldn’t be surprised if FIFA chooses Mile High as a venue. “I think they actually have a good chance. Denver has always been a great city, and has always been a great host for different matches,” he said. “They’ve done Gold Cup. They’ve done Nations League, obviously they’ve done men’s national team, women’s national team. They’ve had the Mexico national team play here for friendlies. So I wouldn’t count Denver out at all.” If chosen, Denver could attract fans

from bordering states that don’t have any candidate cities. Ana Alvarez came up from New Mexico, which has never hosted a U.S. international game, to watch Mexico play this weekend. “I’m super excited ‘cause we’re so close and we’ve been here for previous games,” she said. “It’s like my dream to go to the World Cup and it’s going to happen soon.” It’s not yet clear who will play in the 2026 World Cup, since the 2022 World Cup qualifiers haven’t even finished. But 2026 will see a format change, where the tournament will expand to 48 teams. That means national teams that have missed out on tournaments of past, like Chile, Ireland and Ivory Coast, all have a larger chance of qualifying.

FIFA officials plan to announce the World Cup host cities later this year. Stadiums such as Dallas’ AT&T Stadium and Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl are among the U.S. candidates. Toronto and Mexico City have nominated BMO Field and Estadio Azteca, respectively. If Denver is chosen as a host, it will be the city’s first appearance in a World Cup. The U.S. has hosted the tournament three times: once for the men’s in 1994, and twice for the women’s in 1999 and 2003. CPR’s John Daley contributed to this report.
