Chiefs training camp is again in Wisconsin but will Kansas City-area fans have to travel to watch their team in camp next summer? It's still early, but I'm guessing right now that camp 2009 will be at their Truman Sports Complex practice facility.
I've thought it in past years that this season's camp would be their last in Wisconsin. Obviously, I've been wrong. This time, though, I have more good reasons to feel this way.
The main proponent for the summer move north has been Carl Peterson. With two seasons left on what will probably his last contract, he's a short-timer now and may not have as much juice with Clark Hunt as he once did.
The new practice facilty, when it's completed by the end of the year, will easily be able to handle 80-plus players. The Chiefs have never been able to claim that before.
As for one of the biggest reasons they left for Wisconsin in the first place, well, it's still hot in July and August in Kansas City. But the Chiefs now have a full-size indoor practice facility for the first time. And practices under Herm Edwards aren't as intense as they were under Marty Schottenheimer or Dick Vermeil.
