[Prime Buzz] A plan to bring the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp back to Missouri is a done deal.
The Missouri Development Finance Board on Thursday approved a revised agreement to issue $25 million in tax credits to the football club in exchange for improvements at the Truman Sports Complex and construction of a training facility at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.
A major issue in approving the deal was the Chiefs’ pledge to relocate their summer training camp to the university from Wisconsin, where it’s been held for nearly 20 years.
Board members said they believed the Chiefs committed to holding camp in Missouri for 10 years, but an arrangement between the team and university stipulated only that the camp would be held in St. Joseph for five years, followed by five one-year options at the Chiefs’ discretion.
