Everything you need to know about Kansas City Chiefs 2018 training camp schedule
By Matt Conner
The Kansas City Chiefs have revealed their complete training camp schedule for the 2018 preseason, so check out the details and make your plans.
We’re in the doldrums of summer. The NFL season is long gone and the new season is still several weeks away. And now that we’re in the post-draft part of the offseason, news comes at a snail’s pace, like a medical drip that falls every now and then.
Fortunately the Kansas City Chiefs are here to remind you that it’s only a few weeks until you can make your plans to go to St. Joseph and see the new roster for yourself, with several incredible events for fans and families to meet players, gain autographs, enjoy football and connect with other members of Chiefs Kingdom.
On Friday, the Chiefs unveiled the new training camp schedule for the 2018 preseason. While practices begin on July 23, the first practice is open to the general public on July 26. If you’re a season ticket holder, there are a couple special days for you as well.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Where will the Chiefs practice?
Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.
How much are practices?
All practices are free unless otherwise noted below on the calendar with a few days of $5 admission.
What about parking?
Parking is definitely available at Missouri Western but it will cost you $5 per vehicle.
How long should I expect practice to last?
Weather permitting, every 8:15 a.m. practice should last 2:40 and every 9:15 a.m. practice (Central Time) should last 1:40 (one hour and 40 minutes).
You mentioned weather. What about it?
Keep an eye on Chiefs social media channels (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) for any last-minute changes to practice plans, in case the team heads indoors (which will close any/all public access).
