It’s been here longer than they may have ever imagined, but the Kansas City Chiefs have again made St. Joseph the home of Chiefs Training Camp.
Chiefs President Mark Donovan says 15 of the last 16 years training camp has taken over the Missouri Western State University campus, and it’s been a great run of success
“It doesn’t happen without a lot of hard work and a lot of commitment from everyone involved so we truly appreciate that,” Donovan tells reporters. “You know, championship seasons start in St. Joe, and it’s been something that we’ve been able to take advantage of for quite a long time now.”
Fans poured onto campus as training camp kicked off yesterday for season ticket holders, with some lining up as early as 2 am
Donovan says it’s always special to come to St. Joseph for camp.
“When you get in your car after a long meeting and you go down to Mcdonalds and you grab a coffee, the people working see your logo and they say thank you for being here,” Donovan says. “I just want to say it the other way around, thank you guys for welcoming us and treating us the way that you do.”
Donovan reports many tickets for days of training camp are sold out, but to keep on eye on the Chiefs website the morning of camp for more to come available.
