Kansas City Current's home stadium, CPKC Stadium, is set to undergo a major expansion with a $235 million investment. The project, which includes an expanded stadium, parking garage, mixed-use development, and supporting infrastructure, aims to increase the stadium's capacity to 18,000 seats. Mayor Quinton Lucas said the expansion will help Kansas City compete for more global and national events, including the women's soccer World Cup or men's rugby World Cup in 2031. The Kansas City Current, the professional women's soccer team, has been a driving force behind the development, with the club's leadership committed to raising the bar for women's sports. The expansion project is part of a larger $1.4 billion riverfront development plan, which includes the recently opened KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension and the mixed-use development, Current Landing. The city council has introduced an ordinance to support the project, which includes the issuance of up to $235 million in special obligation bonds. The Kansas City Current's success has been a major factor in the city's decision to invest in the expansion, with the team's presence helping to draw more visitors and create jobs. The club's statement expressed appreciation for the collaboration and leadership from community and civic partners, and looked forward to sharing more details as conversations continue. The expansion is expected to have a significant impact on the local community, with some residents expressing cautious optimism about the proposal. Alethea Frederick, a resident who lives on the riverfront, expressed concerns about the potential increase in rent and the redirection of taxes generated at the project. Dave Coates, a frequent visitor to the riverfront, was more supportive of the project, trusting the city council to make the right decision. The ordinance is set to be considered by the city council, with the potential to bring significant investment and development to the area.
