Update: Title change. Pope is much more appropriate.
Way back in 2007, I came across this picture of a Kansas City Chiefs fan watching the first day of training camp in River Falls, WI. I've always wanted an excuse to post this picture since people started actually reading Arrowhead Pride. I don't exactly have one now, except to say that training camp at River Falls attracted a unique type of football fan it seemed and now that's its over, I want to remember these types of fans.
I'll miss thinking about the Chiefs heading up north for camp each year. I'm one of those people who get into that idea of team camaraderie and I think a training camp away from home, in the dorms, adds to a lot to that.
Like Joel said in an earlier post, if you find some good pictures in the UW-RF Chiefs photo gallery (click the archives too), post 'em in the comments.
Where do you even find an outfit like that? Definitely custom made.

Hmmm...
Looks more like a Chiefs’ Pope than a wizard…

Priest's brother?
Pope Holmes?

Are the Chiefs going to drive up to St. Joe everyday next year or do they have plans on staying in the MOWO dorms?
Colquitt = Chiefs Hall of Fame
See
I was wondering the same thing. I would bet they’re in the dorms again.

I think I heard
That they will be running the camp just like they did in River Falls, with curfews and dorms and just a different location. Only difference is if they have a day off they’ll be able to hang out at home instead of being a long way away.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.

Training camp brings out stupid fans like this guy in the video. I gave AP a shout out but it didn’t make the cut. I go to training camp once in my life and I get interviewed. Then at the first preseason game (I go to all the games) I get my picture in ink kc magazine with my bus. Big week in the media for me

It's funny
I remember everyone grumbling and moaning about the Chiefs moving from Billy Jewel to River Falls. Now we’re moaning them moving back to the area.
Hopes fade once again from blue to red. Go New Chiefs!!
If that's the Pope
And he showed up for the last two camps…..well….with the results we had I’m glad we weren’t blessed that way again.
