I know if we were able to get a WNBA team to Kansas City, it would be packed every single night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just the kind of atmosphere that we have in Kansas City. I\u2019m hoping we can get that done and we can continue to push women\u2019s sports forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, co-owners of the NWSL\u2019s KC Current, along with owners, Chris and Angie Long, met with the WNBA in October about bringing a new franchise to Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>However, the three-time Super Bowl MVP and Brittany faced big competition to nab the 16th WNBA franchise, as multiple cities made bids. One week after the Chiefs fell 40-22 to the Eagles in the Super Bowl, the couple received bad news on their pitch.<\/p>\n<h2>Cleveland Will Become the 16th WNBA Franchise, Kansas City Not Considered \u2018Leaders\u2019 for Next Spot<\/h2>\n<p>Sports Business Journal reported on Sunday, February 16, \u201cThe WNBA is preparing to award Cleveland its 16th franchise, multiple sources have told SBJ, with an approximate bid worth a league record $250M.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sources put Cleveland\u2019s expansion chances as high as 90% \u2014 with an announcement expected no later than March \u2014 and said the WNBA has re-thought its original plan of adding just one team and could award one or two more franchises to bring its league total to 18 clubs. The presumed leaders for the second and third teams are Philadelphia, Houston, Nashville, Detroit and Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amid the WNBA\u2019s expansive growth over the past year, there\u2019s still a chance Kansas City gets a WNBA team, however, it won\u2019t happen for quite some time. SBJ noted, \u201cAs to why the WNBA is willing to take on potentially three teams instead of one right now \u2014with the last two likely arriving in 2029 or 2030 \u2014 the sense is that there have been multiple bids approaching $250M.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Patrick &amp; Brittany Mahomes\u2019 Daughter Inspired the Push to Bring Kansas City a WNBA Team<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5276541\">\n<div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg 7467w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=782,522 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=780,520 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=425,283 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=660,440 660w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=253,169 253w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=270,180 270w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=225,150 225w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2184029390_7d32eb.jpg?resize=242,161 242w\" alt=\"Patrick Mahomes, Wife Brittany Get Disappointing News After Super Bowl\" width=\"782\" height=\"522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5276541\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5276541\">GettyChiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes with his son, Bronze, wife, Brittany, and daughter Sterling, at Arrowhead Stadium on November 10, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mahomes and Brittany share three children, Sterling Skye, 3, Patrick \u201cBronze\u201d Lavon, 2, and Golden Raye, born last month.
