The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the inaugural Chiefs Fantasy Camp at Arrowhead Stadium, giving 100 fans an exclusive experience, behind-the-scenes access and a chance to learn from former Chiefs players, including co-chair QB Trent Green.
“If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a Chiefs player, to get ready in the locker room and run down the tunnel at Arrowhead, now is your chance to find out,” Green noted. “Chiefs Fantasy Camp participants will break down game film and compete in a skills competition that includes quarterback accuracy, route running, field goal kicking and even get a chance to play ‘seven on seven’ at Arrowhead for bragging rights.”
This two-day event begins on May 15th, kicking off with a cocktail reception for participants to mix and mingle and meet members of the organization, including former Head Coach Dick Vermeil. The reception will be hosted by the Voice of the Chiefs, Mitch Holthus.
This is also a chance for you to “draft” greats to coach your team through a live auction. Place your bid and your team could be coached by Trent Green, Priest Holmes, Dante Hall or Christian Okoye.
On May 16th, you will spend the day with your coach, breaking down film, getting ready at your personal locker in the Chiefs locker room and take to the field for a skills competition. During this time, you’ll be able to learn from the greats and compete for the Chiefs Fantasy Camp trophy.
“Everyone will be split up into a group with their coach and will have the chance to really learn about football,” Green explained. “There is a limited amount of people able to participate in this event, so there will be a lot of one-on-one time. You can find out about the technique on catching the ball, how to throw a football, keeping the ball secure; anything you want to know about football you can learn from your coach.”
