Kansas City to remain in River Falls in 2003

Kansas City, Mo. The “Cheese League” lives.

Ending several weeks of suspense, Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson said Wednesday the team would hold its 2003 training camp in River Falls, Wis.

Peterson said the Chiefs had decided to exercise a one-year option that was part of a two-year contract signed in 2001 with the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where the team has trained each year since 1991. The deadline for exercising the option was Oct. 1.

“This will be our 13th year in River Falls and never once has the university been complacent in meeting our needs and making our training camp the best that it can be,” Peterson said.

“It goes without saying that this past year, the weather in Wisconsin was nearly perfect. We never lost any days to hot and humid weather as was the case in some other NFL camps,” Peterson added. “Plus, the opportunity to work two days with the Minnesota Vikings in nearby Mankato, Minnesota, was very important to us.”
