You smell that? It’s the smell of training camp in the air. (Well actually it’s the smell of coffee as I drive to St. Joseph, Missouri at 6:30 a.m. for the 8:15 a.m. Chiefs training camp practices).
The Kansas City Chiefs have released their 2016 training camp schedule at Missouri Western University in St. Joe. A schedule shows we are not that far away from training camp.
The Chiefs will kick off training camp on July 30, which is the earliest they’re allowed to start (15 days before your first preseason game).
Most practices are free. The first one is $5 as is Family Fun Day.
The early morning practices are nice for weather purposes. Maybe a little more difficult for some fans to make it out - that’s why they have the weekend - but those of us up there covering practice sure do appreciate it.
Woohoo! We’re close.
