Whether you’re a total newbie to the Colorado Rapids (welcome!), you want to brush up on your team history, or you’re somewhere in between, this is for you. This first article in the series covers the first 10 years of the team, back when they played at Mile High. We’ve got you covered for where they played, highlights (aka what you need to know about what happened), coaches, fan favorites, and Gallery of Honor inductees. So the next time you’re hanging out at a tailgate before a game, you won’t have to just smile and nod like you know what everyone else is talking about.
