KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The owners of Kansas City’s professional women’s soccer team plan to build a $70 million stadium for the team. Owners of Kansas City NWSL announced Tuesday the 11,000-seat stadium is expected to open in 2024 at a site along the Missouri River near the downtown. The stadium will be the first built in the U.S. specifically for a professional women’s soccer team.
