The Kansas City Current announced on Thursday that they obtained the City Council’s approval for their expansion plan, which includes increasing CPKC Stadium capacity from 11,500 to 18,000. Additionally, they will develop core riverfront infrastructure and construct a multi-level parking structure.

“Today’s decision reflects Kansas City’s belief in bold ideas and transformational projects,” said Angie and Chris Long, co-founders and co-owners of the Kansas City Current. “This is an investment in Kansas City’s long-term growth and a commitment to building a destination that reflects this city’s ambition, inclusivity, and global momentum. We are proud to continue investing in Kansas City’s future and grateful for the partnership that makes this next chapter possible. The success of the Current and the Riverfront benefit our entire community, and we are honored to help create a lasting legacy for a city that has given so much to us.”
