Episode Details

For the first time in nearly three decades the Chiefs won’t leave the metro area for training camp. The NFL is requiring teams to use their training facilities this summer because of health concerns related to COVID-19. The team or NFL hasn’t said fans couldn’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.

Chiefs beat writer Sam McDowell talks about a training camp that won’t happen at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph on SportsBeat KC with host Blair Kerkhoff. After a break, we hear from new assistant coach Andy Hill. The former longtime Mizzou assistant has joined the staff of the team he grew up rooting for in Trenton, Mo., and chatted with reporters last week about his new role.
