There is a lot to do up in St. Joe; lots of historic places, great restaurants, a nature center with trails along the river and the Best place to buy fireworks (Pyro Joes) in the state!

Yep, it is a great day trip. With Atchison just across the bridge, there is plenty to see around there. Lots of great Victorian-style houses and great photography spots along the river too. [Reply]

Meh. If they were savvy they would rotate TC in a big radius of Kansas City to throw the "Chiefs Kingdom" a bone.
If it were announced they were holding TC on Drake's campus or something there wouldn't be the obvious comments about the team pandering to disaffected Rams fans... of which there are like a few thousand. [Reply]
Has this move been officially confirmed? I know the Chiefs want to expand their footprint in the St Louis market, but I've seen nothing official regarding this. [Reply]

Not officially released but living in St Joe I know a few people :-) [Reply]

I don't think it's about attendance as much as it is about increasing exposure. They want to move the camp around to increase the area of people that consider the Chiefs to be "their" team.
Being adopted by a new area of people pays much larger dividends in the long run. Especially if that area passes it along to the next generation. [Reply]

I think it's the right thing to do in staying close. A lot of heavily invested fans/kids get opportunities to see and meet players they normally wouldn't. Reward your fan base. [Reply]

Yeah the opposite side of that coin is that there are 8 home games and they practice every week there and do signing and appearances almost every week. Where as the rest of the fan base that is not in the KC area has to do all the traveling which limits their opportunities. [Reply]
