From their high school days to the present, Brittany Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes have consistently been each other’s strongest advocates. Brittany, a former soccer player, has been a steadfast supporter, attending almost every Kansas City Chiefs’ game to cheer on her husband from the stands. In return, Patrick has played his role well, supporting Brittany through challenges and accomplishments.
About a year ago, Patrick Mahomes was involved in a significant project alongside his wife. Inspired by Brittany’s soccer background, they invested heavily in building the CPKC Stadium at Berkley Riverfront Park for the KC women’s soccer team. As KC Current celebrates a milestone, the Mahomes couple’s efforts are remembered.
Recently, KC Current, the women’s soccer team of Kansas City, commemorated the milestone with a post on its official Instagram page. The photo featured Patrick and Brittany Mahomes wearing the stadium’s construction gear. Patrick’s overlaying tweet expressed gratitude for joining Brittany as part of the KC Current ownership team. He acknowledged the incredible work done by Brittany and the Longs (Chris and Angie Long) in building a world-class organization, expressing excitement to be part of another championship-caliber club making history.
