Patrick, Brittany Mahomes attended opening day at new KC Current stadium

The NWSL’s Kansas City Current officially opened their new CPKC Stadium on Saturday with a 5-4 victory over the Portland Thorns. The stadium is the first in the world to be built for women’s professional sports.

Many attended the historic event, but probably none with the same vested interest as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, the team’s owners. The power couple was front and center, greeting fans entering the brand-new stadium.

“This is history, this is incredible, and for you guys to show up for these women and their own stadium is amazing,” Brittany said to the excited crowd before the game’s kickoff.

Patrick kept the energy high as he grabbed the microphone and led a loud “Let’s go KC” chant, much to the fans’ delight.

In January 2023, the Current announced that Patrick had joined his wife Brittany in the club’s ownership group. The NWSL club is Patrick’s third ownership stake in a Kansas City-based team, alongside the Kansas City Royals and Sporting KC. He is the first active NFL player to have an ownership stake in an NWSL club.
