Brittany and Patrick Mahomes Make Sports History with the First Women's Only Stadium #femmespired

            The National Women’s Soccer League’s (NWSL) Kansas City Current and its ownership group which includes Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, are making sports history.
            The Current kicked off the 2024 season on Saturday in the brand-new CPKC Stadium- the first stadium built specifically to host women’s professional sports in the United States and the first complex built by a National Women’s Soccer League team. The CPKC stadium is a soccer field with a capacity of 11,500 fans and includes 13 suites.
            Partial owner, Brittany Mahomes, is more than just a pretty face who also happens to be married to three-time Superbowl champion Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. No, she also played collegiate soccer at the University of Texas at Tyler and as a forward for Icelandic club UMF Afturelding until retiring in 2017. In December 2020, Brittany bought stakes in the franchise along with Angie and Chris Long. Her husband, Patrick Mahomes, also joined the ownership group himself in 2023.
            “I’ve seen the talent that they showcase every single game,” Patrick Mahomes told ESPN. “We wanted to build a stadium to match that talent. To have it here in Kansas City as the first women’s-specific, women’s only stadium, I think it’s the start of something that will take off throughout the rest of the world.”
            “Kansas City! We’re here, we did it,” Brittany Mahomes said at the Current’s season opener. “I just want to say thank you guys for showing up today. This is history, this is incredible and for you guys to show up for these women in their own stadium is amazing.”
