Brittany Mahomes Celebrates KC Current’s “History” With Patrick Mahomes as Jackson “So Proud” of Sister-in-Law’s Efforts

Patrick Mahomes‘ wife Brittany Mahomes couldn’t contain her excitement as the Kansas City Current made history on the hallowed grounds of the CPKC Stadium. The historic opening day clash didn’t disappoint, with KC Current emerging 6-3 victors over Portland in a nine-goal thriller. The match saw several NWSL records broken, including 16-year-old Alex Pfeiffer becoming the youngest goalscorer in league history with her 68th-minute strike for the hosts.

In an Instagram post, Brittany celebrated the momentous occasion, captioning a photo “Today was Epic. Today was History. Thank you Kansas City for showing up today!!” Her jubilant words expressed the significance of the inaugural match at the world’s first dedicated venue for a professional women’s sports team.

At the center of this groundbreaking achievement stood Brittany and Patrick Mahomes themselves. The power couple’s vision and substantial investment of $80 million paved the way for the $120 million CPKC Stadium, a state-of-the-art 11,500-seat facility designed to elevate the game and provide a world-class experience for players and fans alike. Brittany wrote her gratitude as a testament to the city’s embrace of this historic moment.

The Chiefs quarterback wasn’t just a spectator, however. Ahead of the highly-anticipated matchup against the Portland Thorns, Patrick showcased his soccer skills during a lighthearted kickabout with Brittany on the pitch. While her attempted nutmeg didn’t find its mark, Patrick’s cheeky back-heeled return drew cheers, setting the tone for the festivities. Their passion for the game and advocacy for women’s sports shone through each interaction.

More than just owners, Brittany and Patrick have been driving forces behind the KC Current’s meteoric rise. Their commitment has been unwavering from the franchise’s rebranding to securing the land for their privately funded $18 million training facility.
