The Colorado Mammoth is a member of the National Lacrosse League, a professional sports league in North America. They have played at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, since the 2002-2003 season. In 2004 they became the league's attendance leader, beating the Toronto Rock out closely. In 2006, they again came away with the league attendance record, beating out rivals Calgary. In 20 years, 2006 was the first year that the league had an attendance of one million fans in one season. The Colorado Mammoth had the honor of hosting fan number one million, an honor that commissioner Jim Jennings believes to be rightfully theirs, given the impact they had on the league's attendance this year.
