“We’re surviving,” Brittany Mahomes joked during a storm delay at Arrowhead Stadium two days back. Fast forward to her latest outing at CPKC Stadium, the home of NWSL team Kansas City Current and she’s not just surviving – she’s thriving, with a side of shade thrown at NFL venues.
Brittany is part of KC Current’s ownership group which includes her husband Patrick Mahomes and Chris and Angie Long. Having been associated with the soccer team since its inception in 2020, Brittany has been a frequent visitor to the CPKC stadium, the first in the world to be built for women’s professional sports. She was in attendance for the opening game of the season in March and her latest trip had her praising the culinary delights at the venue.
The pregnant co-owner of KC Current couldn’t contain her enthusiasm after a date with hubby Patrick Mahomes today, “I have never been to a stadium that has better food than we do at cpkcstadium,” Brittany Mahomes declared on her Instagram stories, adding, “and I’m gonna need some more of those apple pies.” This surprising food review came as she and Chiefs QB1 munched on the praised pastries during the KC Current’s clash against the Utah Royals.
The pregnant co-owner’s praise for the NWSL venue’s cuisine stands in stark contrast to her recent experiences at NFL stadiums. On September 5, 2024, during the Chiefs’ opening game, Brittany was “surviving” a storm delay at Arrowhead Stadium, huddled under Chiefs towels with daughter Sterling, as they waited out a 20-minute kickoff delay.
The timing of Brittany’s culinary compliment coincides with a crucial moment for the KC Current. The team snapped a three-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over Utah Royals FC. Temwa Chawinga’s goal in the 47th minute, her eighth consecutive match with a score, proved decisive.
The Mahomes’ presence at the game, sporting matching KC Current jerseys and caps, didn’t go unnoticed. It’s a far cry from Brittany’s recent social media admission, reported by US Magazine on September 6, 2024, where she confessed to feeling sleepy during night games at Arrowhead, promoting Alani Nu energy drinks to stay awake for the Chiefs week 1 opener.
KC Current’s on-field success and Patrick Mahomes’s off-field support
Patrick Mahomes, fresh from a 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, traded his Chiefs red for Current red. As reported by US Magazine on March 16, 2024, he told SportsCenter during the opening of the stadium, “It’s been remarkable to be in the stadium and see the fans. I feel like I’m at Arrowhead. That’s the type of vibe I’m getting here.”
The Current’s bounce-back win mirrors the never-say-die attitude that’s made Patrick a three-time Super Bowl champ. It’s a spirit the soccer squad will need as they face what The Kansas City Star calls “a very daunting stretch of the 2024 season,” with their next three matches against fellow top-four NWSL clubs.
Brittany’s commitment to the team was evident at the stadium’s opening. “Kansas City! We’re here, we did it,” she told the crowd, as reported by US Magazine. “This is history, this is incredible, and for you guys to show up for these women in their own stadium is amazing.”
As the Current (11-3-5) sit in third place in the NWSL standings, they’ll need every bit of support from their high-profile owners. Patrick emphasized the importance of this project, telling SportsCenter in March, “I just want to give back in the best way possible and to be making history in women’s sports, I have my own daughter, to give them the platform that they deserve.”
With the Mahomes family in their corner, serving up enthusiastic support (and apparently, praising stadium snacks), the KC Current is proving they’re a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the field.
