Missouri Western and the Kansas City Chiefs have announced that Western will host an off season practice for the Chiefs on June 12 at Spratt Stadium.
The practice will be a passing practice featuring some of the Kansas City Chief players. The players will not be in full pads, but rather helmets and shorts. The Chiefs cheerleaders and KC Wolf will also be in attendance for fans to enjoy.
After the practice is over Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards will address the crowd with a brief message, then some of the players will be available for autographs. The workout is scheduled for approximately 90 minutes.

This visit is not related to the Chiefs thinking about moving training camp to Missouri Western campus. This is going to become an annual event at different locations around the Kansas City area. Western was the first location that was picked by the Chiefs for this off-season workout.
This event is not only for the Western family, but also for the St. Joseph community as well. St. Joseph is full of Chief fans and this will be a fun way for them to interact with their favorite team. Dan Nicoson believes this is a way for people to see their favorite team.
“It’s not just for Western, but for the whole community,” Nicoson said. “It gives people a chance who normally don’t get to see the Chiefs, a chance to see them.”
Not all of the details have been released for the event. Western is not out to make money, but it is unsure whether there will be a cost. If there is a cost it will be a minor charge.
This will be a great opportunity for the campus to be shown off for the community, as they can come cheer on the Chiefs and see the beauty that is Spratt Stadium.

I think this will be very good for MWSU. First I think it will let the Chiefs organization get a good look at the facilities and comment on what they are looking for in a practice area.Second, I think it will draw many Chiefs fans to the stadium. Hopefully many that have not been there before, and maybe made them a repeat visitor from then on if the experience is a good one.
Chiefs here? This is just a promotional thing not really a big deal ultimately.
