Patrick Mahomes pushes for WNBA, NBA team in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For the past few months, the talks of bringing a WNBA team to Kansas City have gained a lot of traction, with no sign of slowing down.

The idea of bringing team to KC started after Patrick Mahomes expressed his desire for it back in October.

He doubled down on his stance Thursday, during the Chiefs final press conference of Super Bowl week before taking the field on Sunday.

“I think it would be amazing, you see how Kansas City has embraced all sports that have been in the city, especially women’s sports. I’ve seen it first hand with the Kansas City Current,” Mahomes said.

“I know if we were able to get a WNBA team to Kansas City, it would be packed every single night. That’s just the type of atmosphere that we have. I’m hoping we can get that done and we can continue to push women’s sports forward.”
