Chiefs’ Star Patrick Mahomes Leads Effort to Bring WNBA Team to Kansas City in 2028 Expansion

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is known for his impressive skills on the football field, but now he’s setting his sights on a new goal – bringing a WNBA team to Kansas City. Mahomes is among a group of investors who are working to secure a WNBA team for the city as part of the league’s expansion in 2028.

The WNBA has been growing in popularity in recent years, and with the success of teams like the Los Angeles Sparks and the Seattle Storm, there is a high demand for more teams to be added to the league. Mahomes, a vocal supporter of women’s sports, sees this as an opportunity to not only expand the league but also to bring more attention to women’s sports in general.

“I believe in the power of women’s sports and the WNBA has some of the most talented athletes in the world,” Mahomes said in a statement. “I am excited to be a part of bringing a team to Kansas City and showcasing the incredible talent that exists in the league.”

With Mahomes on board, the effort to bring a WNBA team to Kansas City is gaining momentum. The group of investors has been in talks with league officials and is working to secure funding for the team. If successful, the team would join the ranks of other successful sports franchises in Kansas City, such as the Chiefs and the Royals.

Fans in Kansas City are already buzzing with excitement at the prospect of having a WNBA team in their city. The addition of a team would not only provide more opportunities for women athletes but also bring more diversity and excitement to the sports scene in Kansas City.

As the efforts to bring a WNBA team to Kansas City continue, Mahomes and his fellow investors are hopeful that their hard work will pay off and that the city will soon be home to another successful sports franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development.
