Chiefs host exclusive training camp day for season ticket holders
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- It was a VIP experience for some of the Kansas City Chiefs' most loyal fans.
Season ticket holders were invited to an exclusive day at training camp Thursday, offering a closer look at the team as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
The Rick Family said Chiefs Camp is a special family trip for them.
“It’s really special because we bring our grandsons. We have ten grandsons, and now the whole family has seen it, our last two came today. It’s awesome," said Patty Rick, "Go win, we’re ready for another ring!”
The day kicked off with a pancake breakfast, where fans gathered early to fuel up and talk football before heading to the practice field.
Held at MoWest, the event gave fans the chance to watch the team up close from prime viewing spots and participate in a full-team autograph session, a rare opportunity to meet players face-to-face.
Young fans expressed their excitement to get up close with the players.
“I got an autograph from Hunter. And then Travis said hi and stuff to me and Im so happy to see everybody here. This place is so amazing," said Josiah, "We love you Trav, and Pat, and Butker."
From cheering on Patrick Mahomes during drills to snapping selfies in front of the life-size replicas of Super Bowl rings, the day celebrated the dedication of the Chiefs Kingdom’s most faithful supporters.
"I got a nice Travis Kelce autograph once," said Lane Gregory, "I’m trying to get some big ones today, maybe my guy Pacheco. Rashee Rice? He’s a dog, he’s gonna ball out. We’re running it back. We’re winning the Super Bowl. Chiefs Kingdom, let’s rock!”
This exclusive access is part of the team’s ongoing effort to show appreciation to its season ticket members, who play a big part in bringing the energy to Arrowhead Stadium all year long.
