Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes’ $325 million KC Current stadium expansion gets green light with $185 million funding

The Kansas City Current are preparing for a much bigger future at CPKC Stadium, and the latest move could reshape the club’s place in women’s soccer. Kansas City has approved $185 million in public funding for the stadium expansion, paving the way for thousands of new seats and major improvements around the Riverfront. For co-owners Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, the project adds another major chapter to a club they have helped build from the ground up. The expansion also strengthens Kansas City’s bid to attract major international sporting events and turn the Riverfront into an even bigger destination for fans.Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ KC Current investment growsThe Mahomes connection to the Kansas City Current goes beyond Patrick’s profile as the Chiefs’ star quarterback. Brittany Mahomes was part of the original ownership group that brought the NWSL franchise to Kansas City, while Patrick joined the ownership team in 2023. The Current officially lists both as co-owners, alongside Angie Long and Chris Long.That gives the stadium expansion added significance for the Mahomes family. CPKC Stadium opened in 2024 with 11,500 seats and quickly became a major symbol of the growth of women’s professional sports. Now, the proposed work would increase capacity to 18,000.The plan calls for about 6,500 additional seats, mainly in the corners between the existing grandstands. The club also intends to raise the roofline, add more premium boxes and double its suite capacity.For a team that has already attracted strong crowds, the larger venue could give the Current more room to build its audience while creating additional opportunities for premium hospitality and major events.CPKC Stadium expansion could transform Kansas City’s RiverfrontThe stadium project is part of a much larger transformation of the Berkley Riverfront area. The broader $1.4 billion development is expected to bring new housing, retail, parking and infrastructure improvements, creating a district designed to remain active beyond match days.The Current also sees the expanded stadium as a potential gateway to major international events. Kansas City is looking ahead to opportunities such as the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the Men’s Rugby World Cup, making venue capacity and facilities increasingly important.There is also a financial safeguard attached to the public funding. The team and its development partners have committed to covering the city’s bond debt if tax revenue does not generate enough money to meet those payments.Construction on the stadium expansion is expected to begin after next season. If completed as planned, CPKC Stadium will offer the Current a significantly larger stage while helping reshape Kansas City’s Riverfront into a year-round sports and entertainment destination.Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
