Patrick Mahomes Sr has received the green light from a judge to watch his son’s first preseason game for the Kansas City Chiefs next month.
The father of the superstar Chiefs quarterback must get permission to leave Texas following his DWI arrest last year, having cut a plea deal with prosecutors for five years’ probation with ‘intense’ supervision for the first 12 months.
And according to TMZ Sports, on July 17 Mahomes Sr requested to attend Kansas City’s preseason game against the Cardinals in Arizona on August 9, a request which was granted on July 22.
The 54-year-old said he will be in Arizona from August 8-10 and plans to stay at a Glendale-area H๏τel throughout.
He also promised to follow the conditions of his probation while on the trip, which includes submitting a urinalysis test upon his return to Texas.
Mahomes Sr was previously arrested for driving while intoxicated in 2008 and 2019, and last year was also banned from driving after being found on the roads without a valid license. He spent 10 days in jail before cutting the plea deal.

He has previously been given a judge’s permission to attend an autograph show in Minnesota and his son’s charity golf event in Las Vegas back in May.
The former baseball pitcher was also allowed to head to New Orleans in February to watch his son line up in yet another Super Bowl, which ended in defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles.
There could well be more requests on the way with the Chiefs set to begin the 2025 NFL season in September, although he will be into the second year of his probation by that point.
Mahomes has two other preseason fixtures to come next month, with the second coming away to the Seattle Seahawks on August 15.
The Chiefs, who are seeking redemption after their Super Bowl crushing at the hands of the Eagles, then return to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Chicago Bears on August 22.
They begin the new NFL season against the Los Angeles Charges in Brazil on September 5, before a rematch with the Eagles takes place in Kansas City on September 14.
Road trips to the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars, as well as a home clash against the Baltimore Ravens, make up their first five games of the campaign.
