12:30 p.m. | Kansas City Chiefs President Mark Donovan held a news conference Monday about the training camp and the upcoming season.

"It's good to be back," Donovan said about training camp being in St. Joseph again this year.

Due to COVID-19, the Chiefsremained in Kansas City, Missouri, at their normal practice facilities for the 2020 training camp.

Donovan said that last season gave him a lot of perspective, and he was proud of how the team overcame so many challenges.

"We should all be so thankful to those front line workers," he said.

Donovan was joined by Michael Pulido, chief operations manager at Mosaic Life Care, and Dr. Elizabeth Kennedy, president of Missouri Western State University.

Pulido spoke about how Mosaic Life Care and its front line workers battled COVID-19 and worked as a team. His message was simple.

"Be a team player, get vaccinated," he said.

Donovan echoed that statement and said the goal is to get as many people vaccinated as possible within the franchise as well as the Kansas City community.

For the upcoming Garth Brooks concert at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Aug. 7, Donovan is working on having a vaccination site at the concert.

Donovan also touched on the Chiefs’ schedule this season.

“This may be the most exciting home schedule in the history of our franchise,” Donovan said. “We’re a bucket list destination with the most amazing opponents coming in.”

The Chiefs regular season schedule starts with a home game against the Cleveland Browns. The other homes games are against the Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers. He expects that with these opponents coming in that the opposing team fans will show up at arrowhead.

His message to the Kingdom: “Have them leaving with their ears hurting and give them the true Arrowhead experience.”
