The Kansas City Chiefs have reached a long-term agreement to keep the team’s training camp on the campus of Missouri Western State University.
If you like your training camp to remain an out-of-town destination, then you’re going to be thrilled with the news that the Kansas City Chiefs have reached a long-term agreement to keep their preseason training on the campus of Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.
The Chiefs announced the new agreement to use the campus for another three years, which means you can officially book your summer plans through the 2022 season. There are also two option years beyond that which could extend the agreement through 2024.
The school and county officials are working on some key improvements, which include seating for fans watching practice on the north end of the field as well as accommodations for players. You can read full details here.
The Chiefs have held training camp in St. Joe for 11 consecutive years now, and the extension of such a location away from the metro area is becoming a rarity for NFL teams these days. Most teams have done away with the notion of creating a space away from distractions by returning training camp sites close to home stadiums. However, the Chiefs are going with what clearly works and giving themselves a haven away from family, friends, and a normal routine by moving into the college campus for a few weeks.
Full details will be coming soon on the Chiefs official website in terms of training camp dates and practice times so you can make your exact plans.
