The Outlaws had their inaugural game on May 20, 2006 versus the Chicago Machine at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

[1] The Outlaws won the Western Conference championship in their first season.
On June 16, 2007, the Rochester Rattlers won a 27-26 (in overtime) game over the Denver Outlaws in the highest scoring game in MLL history at INVESCO Field at Mile High.
