Why River Falls?
Chiefs History
Lamar Hunt was instrumental in creating the AFL (American Football League) in 1959 and established his team the Dallas Texans. The NFL already existed and included the Dallas Cowboys. It soon became apparent that Dallas could not support two teams, therefore, in May of 1963 he announced the Dallas Texans would move to Kansas City and become the Kansas City Chiefs, using KC Mayor H. Roe Bartle's nickname "Chief".
Why do the Chiefs go to River Falls, Minn each year since 1991 for training camp?
They had been canceling practices due to the oppressive heat, and needed some competition. In Wisconsin, the Saints, Packers, Bears and Vikings were already camping nearby at that time.
Another big reason, other than the weather, was for the quiet and peacefull setting of a small town rather than the fast life of the big city with unlimited temptations for young men who suddenly find themselves with lots of money in thier pockets.
