Strategically placed in the hallway of CPKC stadium, where players pass as they take the field, is the language of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. This not only serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance and ongoing impact of this legislation but reaffirms KC Currents commitment to upholding the values of and fairness in sports and continuing to champion equality in all aspects of the game.
Advancing women’s soccer and athletics on a global scale, CPKC Stadium is the world’s first purpose-built stadium for women’s professional sports, the result of a mission to provide a state-of-the-art facility offering the best player, fan, partner, and community experience in the world.
The facility spans seven acres with capacity of 11,500 with no seat being more than 100 feet from the field. Also included are luxury suites and in-stadium amenities, including pitch-side seats, a pitch club, supporter section, community plaza areas, local food and drink, and a cutting-edge pitch with heating and cooling capabilities.
Providing views of the riverfront and downtown, this first-of-its-kind open air venue not only caters to the needs of the sports fans, but also serves as a versatile space for concerts, events, and community gatherings.
Entering their fourth season with a 5-4 win at their home opener, KC Current played to a sold-out crowd on March 16, 2024, in their NEW CPKC stadium.
