Chiefs To Hold Training Camp At Kansas City Training Facilities

Alton, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs have decided to hold training camp at their training facilities in Kansas City, Missouri.

NFL Policy

The NFL put out a new policy that all the teams will have to have their training camp at their team facilities. The Kansas City Chiefs were reluctant to move their training camp, which in past years was in St. Joseph, to Kansas City because of the coronavirus. The Chiefs said earlier this week that they sent a detailed appeal to the National Football League. To no avail, the Chiefs decided that because of the coronavirus, they will hold the training camp at The University of Kansas Health System Training Complex in Kansas City.

Statement

Here’s the official statement from the Kansas City Chiefs:

“When the NFL announced a new policy requiring all training camps to be held at team facilities, we looked at every avenue to return to Missouri Western State University, including making a detailed appeal to the League. We were looking forward to returning to St. Joseph as we prepare to defend our Super Bowl title, but unfortunately, as conditions have evolved nationally, we have decided that our best option is to conduct training camp at The University of Kansas Health System Training Complex this season. We appreciate the overwhelming support of Chiefs Kingdom and the St. Joseph community and look forward to returning to Missouri Western State University in preparation for the 2021 season.” ^[1]
