The 2011 Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp presented by Heartland Health begins Friday, July 29 at Missouri Western State University. The most up-to-date information on the team’s practice schedule during camp will be available at www.kcchiefs.com.
“We’re excited to welcome the Chiefs back to St. Joseph,” said Dan Nicoson, Western’s interim director of athletics and vice president for university advancement. “Last year was a great success, and we’ve made some changes to make camp even more fan-friendly, including moving the concession stands closer to the practice fields and simplifying the parking plan.”
The Chiefs hold their first public practice at 3:30 p.m. Friday, July 29. Western, the St. Joseph Metro Chamber and the City of St. Joseph are hosting a Red Rally to welcome the Chiefs back from 1:30 to 3:30 Friday afternoon at Spratt Stadium.
Gates open one hour prior to each practice session.
Missouri Western uses revenue from parking, admission to special events and concessions to offset the costs of hosting the training camp, Nicoson said. He announced the following details:
Parking
• Parking is $5 per vehicle per day for regular practice sessions, including accessible parking.
• Buses and recreational vehicles are $15 per day for regular practice sessions.
• A parking pass for the entire camp costing $30 is available at the MWSU Athletics Office, Looney Complex room 229.
• All vehicles will be directed to park in Lot H and a grass extension of Lot H. If necessary, overflow parking will be in Lot J.
• For special events where admission is charged, including Family Fun Day and the Camp Sendoff at a date to be determined, all parking will be free.
Admission Charges

• For Family Fun Day on Aug. 6: $12 (children age 3 and under free)
