[11] Due to delays in converting the Legends Field baseball diamond to a soccer pitch, Sporting Kansas City allowed the Current to play their first home match of the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup on April 26 at Children's Mercy Park.

[12] In December 2020, Current co-owner Chris Long first raised plans for a practice facility and stadium to Generator Studio design director Tom Proebstle, whose firm evaluated more than 10 sites before settling on a 7.08-acre (2.87 ha) parcel owned by the Port of Kansas City east of the Richard L. Berkley Riverfront Park designated Parcel 8, which had previously been used as a dumping ground for the collapsed Kemper Arena roof.

[13] However, team ownership separately announced, planned, and constructed an $18 million dedicated practice facility in Riverside, Missouri, that opened in June 2022.

The proposed stadium could also be converted for use as a music venue[17][13] and included retractable seating for potential reuse as a gridiron football field.

[18] In May 2022, the Current increased the planned seated capacity of the stadium to 11,500 and raised the required budget to an estimated $117 million.

[24][3] The press box at the stadium was dedicated in November 2023 to the late Grant Wahl, a Kansas City native who covered soccer for Sports Illustrated and other outlets.

[28] CPKC Stadium hosted the 2024 NWSL final in November 2024,[29] as well as the Big 12 Conference women's soccer tournament in 2024.
