Situated along the picturesque banks of the Missouri River the CPKC Stadium was built on a remarkable investment of nearly $120 million (£93m). With the downtown skyline as its backdrop, the 11,000-seat arena emerges as a premier venue dedicated exclusively to the advancement of women’s football.Apart from the Mahomes pair, Current chairman and CEO Chris Long, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, and NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman were present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The vision of the Current’s ownership group, spearheaded by Chris and Angie Long, transcends mere sport; it embodies a commitment to empowering female athletes and revolutionizing the landscape of women’s soccer. With private financing driving its construction, CPKC Stadium epitomizes a groundbreaking initiative to provide women with world-class facilities tailored to their needs.
From the inception of an $18 million purpose-built practice facility to the culmination in the grandeur of CPKC Stadium, the Current’s ownership group remained steadfast in their pursuit of excellence.
