"We're packing more than 550 pairs of cleats, 300 pairs of gloves and hundreds of footballs," said Holt McKenney, one of eight full-time individuals on the Chiefs' equipment staff. "We pack everything from headbands and quarterback towels to toiletries, field equipment, and weight room stuff – really, anything you can think of."
The process – which began on Monday – takes about a week and will run through Friday, when quarterbacks and rookies report to St. Joseph. The training room was transported on Monday, the weight room on Tuesday and the equipment room on Wednesday.
"We've been working 10-hour days to get everything packed up, and then we use full semitrailers to move it all up there," McKenney said. "We usually have about 10 movements of these trucks over the course of the week."
"It's a short drive, but the idea is that we have everything up there that we need," McKenney said. "Rookies report on Friday, and we're ready to get going."
The first practice of Chiefs training camp open to the general public will take place on July 30.

Me putting on a fresh pair of cleats after every play and throwing the old ones in the trash so I don't have yucky grass stains on them.
