Chiefs Question on trading camp time schedule?

farmerchief · 07-30-2017, 02:41 PM

I see they don't practice this coming Wed, and start practice again Thurs morning. How long do the practices last? I've never been to a training camp, and was thinking about driving up to Atchinson on Wed,as my aunt uncle live there, spend the night and drive over to St Jo the next morning. Then if things went right, drive on down to see the Royals play Thurs night. Kind of a quick mini vacation for my wife and I. We have to be back home south of Wichita for a wedding on Sat. Thanks for any info.

Usually between 2-2:45 in my experience.

The one I went to yesterday was 2:20.

Leave right after the 11 on 11s are done and beat traffic.

This is a good question. I'm embarking on Thursday to head up that way with my son. Hopefully find a place to set up a tent because I'm wanting save money not staying in hotel and I really can't afford them.

So hopefully get up there for Friday and Saturday and maybe Sunday but depends on how much i can get by on eating cheap but Jack Stacks in on the menu for place to eat in Kansas City.

Not sure. I'm guessing trading camp begins a few minutes after training camp starts everyday.

So, open to public everyday they practice? $5 admission? I've drove through St Jo once many years ago, but don't remember much about the town. I imagine it won't be hard to find the place they practice?

Take the hwy 36 exit off I-29 and follow the signs for MoWest. Once you get to campus there are signs directing you where to park.

$5 to park, admission is free as long as it's not family night or some special event.
