Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp in St Joseph, Missouri - July 29 - August 19

The Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL) will be holding their annual preseason training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri between the dates of Thursday July 29, 2010 and Thursday August 19, 2010. After holding their annual training camp in River Falls, Wisconsin for many years this will be the inaugural training camp held in St. Joseph, Missouri.

The city of St. Joseph, Missouri has a population of about 75,000 people and is located approximately one hour north of Arrowhead Stadium where the Kansas City Chiefs play eight home football games a season. St. Joseph and by extension Kansas City are located in the northwestern portion of the state near the Kansas, Nebraska, and to a lesser extent the Iowa border. Kansas City, located on the Missouri River, is about a four hour drive on I-70 from St. Louis Missouri which is located on the east side of the state on the Mississippi river bordering Illinois.

The motivation for the Chiefs to move from River Falls, Wisconsin to St. Joseph, Missouri was is in part due to the closer proximity to loyal fans in the surrounding area. Whereas previous coaching staffs and team administrators had rationalized the Wisconsin location as a more secluded area where the team could perhaps better focus without as many distractions from fans crowding the area the current thought within the organization is that a training camp move closer to home will hopefully translate into a reinvigorated fan base after several losing seasons in which the team failed to make the playoffs.

The city of St. Joseph is anxious to host the event as it is expected to bring millions of dollars to the city through loyal fans coming from hours away to see their beloved organization up close and for the first time this season. St. Joseph mayor Bill Falkner has gone on record with the local St. Joseph News-Press stating that he believes the emergence of the Chiefs training camp will be a boost for local businesses. Among the area business expected to see the most immediate gains are restaurants, hotels, and retailers.

The Kansas City Chiefs will hold their training camp on the campus of Missouri Western State University (formerly Missouri Western State College) which is visible from Interstate-29. In anticipation of the Chiefs training camp Missouri Western has built a large indoor practice facility to accommodate the professional organization in case inclement weather like thunderstorms occurs. Missouri Western has its own Division-II football program which will benefit from being able to use the indoor football practice facility throughout the fall football season.

Madden Mondays Featuring Madden NFL 12 - Kansas City Chiefs

Chiefs-Gun Wing Trips Wk-Chiefs X-Dig The 2010 Chiefs had a resurgence on offense that helped lead them to a division title and a playoff appearance. Quarterback Matt Cassel had an outstanding year throwing 27 touchdown passes and only 7 interceptions. His favorite target, WR Dwyane Bowe, lead the NFL with 15 TD passes while running back Jamaal Charles was second in the NFL with 1467 yards rushing. The "Big 3" was heavily involved in the success of the offense and on this play Bowe is the primary receiver on a deep in route on the backside of the formation. Charles is the second option as he will run an out route to the right if Bowe is covered on the dig. Order now at www.gamestop.ca ! (GameStop Games Canada)
