SportsBeat KC: Training camp in St. Joe is a no-go for Chiefs. Here’s what that means
For the first time in nearly three decades, the Chiefs won’t leave the KC metro area for training camp.
The NFL is requiring teams to use their own training facilities this summer because of health concerns related to COVID-19. Neither the team nor NFL has said fans can’t attend ... yet. But if fans aren’t allowed, or attendance is limited, that would be a blow to the fan base that figured to arrive in record numbers this year to watch the Super Bowl champions prepare for the 2020 season.
On this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, beat writer Sam McDowell talks with host Blair Kerkhoff about a training camp that won’t happen at Missouri Western State University. After a break, we hear from new Chiefs assistant coach Andy Hill. The former longtime Mizzou assistant has joined the staff of the team he grew up rooting for in Trenton, Missouri, and he chats about his new role.
