Mo. board approves deal to move Chiefs training camp from Wis. to Missouri for 10 years

Mo. board revises training camp deal for Chiefs

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri officials have approved a deal to bring the Kansas City Chiefs training camp back to Missouri for at least 10 years.

The agreement approved Thursday by the Missouri Development Finance Board guarantees the Chiefs will train in Missouri over that span in exchange for $25 million in tax credits. If the Chiefs don’t follow through, they would owe penalties to the state.

The board approved the tax credits in December, but Gov. Jay Nixon’s administration said the deal covered only five years.

The Chiefs currently train at the University of Wisconsin in River Falls. They plan to move their summer camp to Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph next year.
