The Chiefs on Friday announced dates for this summer’s training camp, which begins a little earlier than usual next month at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.

All practice sessions will take place on the Mosaic Training Fields at Missouri Western, and team officials note that dates and times are subject to change.

This is the 13th straight year that Chiefs camp will take place in St. Joe. Camp is starting a little earlier this year because the Chiefs play on opening night — Sept. 7 in Kansas City against the Detroit Lions.

Open training camp practices begin on Sunday, July 23, and conclude on Thursday, Aug. 17. Admission is free unless otherwise noted below or online.

Training camp tickets must be reserved in advance while supplies last at chiefs.com/trainingcamp. Per the Chiefs: “Due to the expected interest and demand, attendance at daily sessions will be limited to provide the best fan experience.”

The first day that season-ticket members can make ticket reservations is Wednesday, June 21, at 10 a.m. The general public can begin making reservations on Thursday, June 22, also at 10 a.m.

Fans can reserve a maximum of six tickets per practice and can reserve tickets for a maximum of three practices. Paid practice days will require advance payment to reserve tickets (only Chiefs season-ticket members will have the option to reserve tickets for the exclusive season-ticket member days).

Note that paid-practice dates and season-ticket member dates do not count toward the maximum ticket reservation allotment of three practices.

New this year, special Chiefs Tailgate Suites will be available for purchase in the north end zone for groups of 10 or more. Per the Chiefs, “Tailgate Suites offer a private viewing space next to the field with food & beverage and climate-controlled access in the Tailgate Suite. For more information or to reserve yours today, please visit www.chiefs.com/trainingcamp.” All tickets are mobile entry-only through the Chiefs Mobile app.

Missouri Western will charge a $5 parking fee per vehicle per day (parking is free for season-ticket members on the two season-ticket member dates). Missouri Western will also charge a $5 admission fee on three practice days: Sunday, July 23; Saturday, July 29 (Chiefs Champions Tour); and Saturday, Aug. 5 (Family Fun Day).

A couple of final important notes for fans: Team autograph sessions are scheduled to take place July 23, July 24, July 29, Aug. 5 and Aug. 9. Alumni Day will take place on Monday, July 31, and Military Appreciation Day will be Thursday, Aug. 17.
