Brittany and Patrick Mahomes were giddy during the season opener for Kansas City Current.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, along with the rest of the ownership group, made Saturday night unforgettable for the Kansas City Current of the NWSL.
The Current kicked off the 2024 season on Saturday at their brand-new CPKC Stadium, an iconic soccer pitch that can hold 11,500 spectators and is the first arena in US history designed only to support women’s professional sports.
With a decisive early lead of 5–2, Kansas City defeated the Portland Thorns 5–4 to collect three points in the standings. From their room, the Mahomes family was enthralled with every moment of it.
Seeing the supporters at this stadium has been amazing. Before the game, Patrick Mahomes told ESPN, “I feel like I’m at Arrowhead.”
I’m feeling kind of like that over here.” In December 2020, Angie and Chris Long, as well as Brittany Mahomes, who played collegiate soccer at the University of Texas at Tyler, acquired a share in the team. In 2023, Patrick Mahomes became a member of the ownership group.
Patrick Mahomes told ESPN, “I’ve seen the talent that they demonstrate every single game.” “Our goal was to construct a stadium worthy of that caliber. I believe that having the first women’s-only stadium here in Kansas City marks the beginning of something that will spread across the rest of the globe.
For Kansas City, other goal scorers included Bia Zaneratto, Vanessa DiBernardo, Ellie Wheeler, Kristen Hamilton, and Alexandra Pfeiffer.
At 16 years and 4 months old, Pfeiffer became the youngest goal scorer in NWSL history. On March 23, the current squad will take the field again at Snapdragon Stadium to play the San Diego Wave.
