The Kansas City Current have unveiled a $1.4 billion expansion of CPKC Stadium, increasing capacity from 11,500 to 18,000 seats while adding a parking garage and riverfront development. Minority owners Patrick and Brittany Mahomes continue backing the club's growth. Founded in 2020, the Current have become an NWSL powerhouse, finishing runners-up in 2022, winning the NWSL Shield, and becoming the first team to sell out every home match in 2024.The Kansas City Current are preparing for another major leap after unveiling plans for a $1.4 billion expansion of CPKC Stadium, a project that reflects the club's rapid rise in the National Women's Soccer League. The proposal, presented to the Kansas City, Missouri City Council on June 30, would significantly increase the stadium's capacity while adding new riverfront infrastructure. Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes, who are minority owners of the club, continue to be part of one of women's football's fastest-growing success stories.Kansas City Current reveal ambitious CPKC Stadium expansionJust two years after opening the first purpose-built stadium for an NWSL club, Kansas City Current are already planning to nearly double its size. If approved, CPKC Stadium will expand from approximately 11,500 seats to 18,000, allowing thousands more supporters to attend home matches.The proposal goes beyond increasing seating. It also includes a dedicated transient parking garage and a mixed-use riverfront development designed to improve access for fans while supporting continued growth around the venue.The club outlined its vision in an official statement while presenting the proposal to city officials."Today, KC Current presented expansion plans for CPKC Stadium to the KCMO City Council.“As demand for KC Current matches, events and riverfront development continues to grow, outpacing even our initial high expectations, so does the need to expand and improve infrastructure around the stadium — including increased stadium capacity to 18,000; a dedicated transient parking garage; and core riverfront infrastructure that will better serve fans, residents, families and the broader KC community.“What stands today as CPKC Stadium on the riverfront is more than a stadium.“It is proof of what KC can accomplish when a community comes together around bold ideas and a shared vision for the future.“We cannot wait to build the next chapter together.”The project highlights how the club is planning for long-term demand rather than reacting only to current attendance figures.Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes continue backing Kansas City Current's growthThe Current have enjoyed remarkable progress since launching as an NWSL expansion club in December 2020. Originally owned by Angie Long, Chris Long and Brittany Mahomes, the organisation later welcomed Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as a minority owner, further strengthening its high-profile ownership group.Kansas City was built on an accelerated timeline after the Utah Royals FC stopped operations, and quickly established itself as one of the strongest teams in the league. Last season, the club was the NWSL runner-up and won the NWSL Shield, further cementing its place as a title contender.Support from the fans has been comparable to the team’s success on the pitch. The Current sold out all regular season home games for the first time in franchise history in 2024, underscoring the rise in popularity of women’s football in Kansas City.That sustained demand is a major reason behind the latest expansion proposal. Rather than waiting for capacity to become a long-term issue, the club is investing in a larger stadium experience while enhancing surrounding infrastructure for future supporters and community development.With Patrick and Brittany Mahomes continuing to invest in the club's vision, the proposed expansion represents another milestone for a franchise that has quickly become one of the NWSL's model organisations, both on and off the field.
