Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes' $325 million KC Current unveil $1 billion bold plan that could put Kansas City on the global map

Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes have another reason to be excited about Kansas City's sporting future. The couple, who are part of the Kansas City Current's ownership group, are backing a club with ambitions that stretch far beyond the football pitch. In June 2026, the NWSL side unveiled ambitious renderings of an expanded CPKC Stadium and a major riverfront development. The proposal could transform the area into a major destination for sports, entertainment and tourism, while giving women's football an even bigger stage in Kansas City.Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes' KC Current target 18,000-seat stadiumThe Kansas City Current's expansion plans represent a major step in the club's long-term vision. The renderings, presented during a Kansas City City Council committee meeting on June 30, showed how CPKC Stadium could evolve from its existing 11,500-seat capacity into an 18,000-seat venue.That would add 6,500 seats, giving the club more room to welcome supporters and potentially host larger sporting events. The proposal also includes a parking garage, mixed-use buildings, improved infrastructure and pedestrian access connecting different parts of the riverfront.The city was considering issuing up to $235 million in special obligation bonds to support the development at the time. The wider project also aims to bring more commercial activity and public spaces to the Berkley Riverfront area.Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas welcomed the club's growing influence, highlighting the importance of investment in women's sports.“The Kansas City Current presents one of the greatest success stories in our city’s recent history, and CPKC Stadium has already proven that world-class investment in women’s sports pays off,” Mayor Quinton Lucas said in a news release earlier this month.For Mahomes, the investment also carries personal significance. Patrick joined Brittany in the Current's ownership group in 2023, becoming the first active NFL player to hold equity in an NWSL team. Brittany had already been involved with the club and has a background in professional football.KC Current's riverfront expansion could reshape Kansas City's sporting futureThe stadium is only one part of the larger vision. The Current wants to turn the surrounding riverfront into a place where supporters can spend time beyond matchdays.The ownership group has already invested more than $350 million in private capital along the riverfront and aims to commit more than $1 billion in private investment over the next decade.The club believes the development could attract major events, create jobs and bring more visitors to Kansas City. It could also strengthen the city's chances of hosting international competitions, including the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup or the 2031 Men's Rugby World Cup.The Current summed up its ambition with a simple message: “Building a place where families and generations can gather, celebrate and connect.”The club has also made its broader philosophy clear, saying it has “always been bigger than a stadium.”For Mahomes and Brittany, the project represents an opportunity to help build something lasting in Kansas City. It is no longer just about creating a successful women's football team. The ambition is to make the Current a major part of the city's sporting and cultural identity.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates. Download the TOI app.
