KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A big day for the Kansas City Chiefs starts Friday morning at the new Founder’s Plaza in Arrowhead Stadium. It will wind up with the first practice at their gleaming new practice facility in St. Joseph.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will be on hand at the Founder’s Plaza when a 9-foot statue is unveiled of Lamar Hunt, founder of the Chiefs and the American Football League.

Coach Todd Haley will begin practice a few hours later at the team’s new facility in St. Joseph. It will be the first time in 20 years the Chiefs have not camped in River Falls, Wis.

The practice facility 45 minutes north of Arrowhead Stadium will the Chiefs’ summer home for at least the next five years.
