In the season 4 premiere of Ted Lasso—CPKC Stadium, the world’s first purpose-built stadium for a professional women’s sports team—is the inspiration Rebecca Welton (played by Hannah Waddingham) and Keely Jones (played by Juno Temple) need to back the newly formed AFC Richmond women’s team.
The KC Current and the venue serve as major plot points throughout the episode, highlighting the financial viability of a women’s team and sellout crowds. Designed by Generator Studio, under the vision of the KC Current ownership group, CPKC Stadium is still doing what it was built to do: uplift women’s athletes and inspire others.
