This story was originally reported in March 2024, so it reflects Mahomes’ views at that time rather than a new 2026 development. Because the Kansas City Current were preparing for their first game at CPKC Stadium, the first stadium in the world built specifically for an NWSL team, the timing was significant.
It’s going to be a historic day and the start of something great,” he said. And to have it here in Kansas City as the first women’s-specific stadium, and it’s just the start of something that will kinda take off throughout the rest of the world. ” “For me, it just shows how much support Kansas City has. Ahead of that historic opening, Mahomes appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter with Brittany and spoke about the excitement surrounding the new club. The atmosphere reminded him of the energy he regularly experienced at Arrowhead Stadium. “It’s been remarkable to be in the stadium and see the fans. I feel like I’m at Arrowhead, that’s the type of vibe I’m getting here. “Yeah, I just want to give back in the best way possible and to be making history in women’s sports, I have my own daughter, to give them the platform that they deserve. I mean, I’ve seen the type of talent they showcase every single game and we wanted to build a stadium that matched that talent. You go to any game, you see the fanbase and how much support,” explained Mahomes. “They really love the players for what they do on the field, but also off of it as well. It’s a great city. It’s the place me and Brittany want to raise our kids in, and it speaks to the people in this city.”
