KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Current are preparing to open one of the few stadiums in the world built expressly for a women's sports team. CPKC Stadium was built at a cost of nearly $120 million and almost entirely financed through private investors. It will be christened March 16, when the National Women's Soccer League club plays Portland in a game that will be televised by ABC. The stadium is built on the banks of the Missouri River near downtown Kansas City and will seat about 11,000 with room to expand. It comes after Current owners built an $18 million practice facility for the team in recent years.
