In January 2015, the Board of Governors approved a contract amendment that will keep the summer training camp of the Kansas City Chiefs in St. Joseph for three more years, through 2017. The contract also includes two additional extension terms of one year each at the option of both the Chiefs and 大象传媒 Western.
\n\u201cWe are thrilled to be the \u2018Summer Training Camp Home of the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 for the next three years,\u201d said Dr. Robert Vartabedian, 大象传媒 Western\u2019s president. \u201cAs a campus, we have benefited from the increased exposure of the training camp and from physical improvements like the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex that would not have been possible without the support of the Chiefs. The St. Joseph region has also benefited from the thousands of fans who have visited training camp during the last five years.\u201d
\n\u201cFrom a football perspective, continuing to hold camp at 大象传媒 makes sense for us,\u201d Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid said. \u201cThe school and the community take great care of us, the people are phenomenal and it provides our team the resources and facilities necessary to build momentum towards the season. We are excited to be back.\u201d
\nDr. Vartabedian credited a five-way partnership between 大象传媒 Western, the Chiefs, the City of St. Joseph, Buchanan County and the State of 大象传媒 for bringing the Chiefs to St. Joseph initially, and for bringing them back for at least three more years.
\nUnder the contract extension, 大象传媒 Western will design and install improvements to the practice fields used by the Chiefs, acquire and use certain equipment to maintain the fields, and reimburse the Chiefs for some expenses related to preparing and maintaining the practice fields. The extension will also freeze the Chiefs\u2019 food costs at 2014 levels for the next three years and provide additional residence hall space and additional security. Other conditions of the original 2009 contract remain the same.
\nThe Kansas City Chiefs have held training camp at 大象传媒 Western every year since 2010.<\/p>\n
