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. 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. 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.
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 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. 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.
The Mahomes connection to the Kansas City Current goes beyond Patrick’s profile as the Chiefs’ star quarterback. The Current officially lists both as co-owners, alongside Angie Long and Chris Long. 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. The stadium project is part of a much larger transformation of the Berkley Riverfront area. The Current also sees the expanded stadium as a potential gateway to major international events. 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.
