Summer home of the Chiefs After a successful first year, it always was a matter of when – not if – for the Kansas City Chiefs returning to their new training camp home in St. Joseph.

Fans attending camp in 2010 marveled at the new Griffon Indoor Sports Complex and all of the accompanying improvements at Missouri Western State University. Visitors who ventured into the city found shopping, dining, recreation and rich history – often far beyond what they imagined.

Throughout, the partners in this effort – the state of Missouri, local governments, private donors and the Chiefs – took satisfaction in seeing a long-term vision come to reality.

Expect a few changes to this year’s camp – a simpler approach to parking fees, concessions closer to the action – but the priority remains football. The Chiefs are focused on finding the right 53 players to take into the regular season and building a championship team. That process starts here.

Coach Todd Haley places much stock in a player’s versatility on the field.

Versatility please The Chiefs’ evolving roster is filled with multi-dimensional players ‘For all these guys, what I’m preaching all the time is the more you can do, the more you can do the better; regardless. It’s always good for everybody involved.’

– TODD HALEY, 2010 Training Camp

By JOSH LOONEY Chiefs Insider

Position versatility has become commonplace across the Chiefs’ roster. Few players, outside of quarterbacks and kickers, line up

at just one position. For reserves, position flexibility is becoming a mandatory part of the job description.

Whether it’s a tight end who can play halfback, or a guard who can play center, the Chiefs are becoming a plug-and-play team. Game plans are constantly evolving and position demands increasing. As long as game-day rosters remain at 45 players, those who are active must be versatile.

“We love versatility,” General Manager

Scott Pioli said after selecting a handful of position-flexible players in this year’s draft. “We love players who can do multiple things for a couple of different reasons. You have an opportunity for a player to make it in more than one way on your football team and the other thing you have, if he’s a backup, he gives you an opportunity to manage your roster far better.”

The “more you can do” philosophy held true during the 2011 NFL Draft when the Chiefs used six of their nine picks on players who played multiple positions in college.

Rookie Options Rodney Hudson will begin his Chiefs career at center, but was an All-America selection at left guard for Florida State.

Justin Houston played two seasons as a 4-3 defensive end prior to a production-filled move to outside linebacker in 2010. He might just play both in Kansas City. Don’t be surprised when Houston lines up on the line of scrimmage when the Chiefs go with four defensive linemen in sub-package sets.

Allen Bailey played all across the defensive line, as well as at inside linebacker, while at Miami. Will begin his NFL career at defensive end, but offers the flexibility along the interior line in sub-packages. Depending on his playing weight, may even be able to fill in at outside (or inside) linebacker in a pinch.

Jalil Brown, a hybrid defensive back, played both cornerback and safety in college. Listed as a cornerback, but is a prime candidate to play in dime and nickel packages as well.

Gabe Miller played tight end for two seasons before switching to defensive end at Oregon State. He’ll play outside linebacker in Kansas City, but the Chiefs also worked him out on the offensive side of the football.

Shane Bannon lined up as a traditional fullback, as a halfback and on the line of scrimmage at Yale.

Even the Chiefs’ most prominent veteran playmakers have been on the move to some degree. Jamaal Charles often will motion out of the backfield and into space, while Dwayne Bowe has caught passes from an interior alignment.

Defining versatility goes as far as you want to take it. Technically, an example can be made of nearly everyone on the roster (i.e. Matt Cassel lines up as a wide receiver

11

in Wildcat sets).

We scanned every player listed on the Chiefs’ mid-July roster and threw away the outliers (such as Cassel lining up at wide receiver). Our review shows the still-evolving roster is filled with multi-dimensional players.

Offensive Line Branden Albert has started 29 games at left tackle for the Chiefs, but was a standout guard in college.

Jon Asamoah has taken practice reps at center. Played both guard posts as a rookie in 2010.

Bobby Greenwood, a converted college defensive end, made the switch to offensive tackle during the 2010 training camp.

Darryl Harris played all five offensive line positions in college. Primary position with the Chiefs has been guard, but has also practiced at center.

Ryan Lilja started 15 games at right guard last season after starting 59 games at left guard for the Colts (2004-09).

Rudy Niswanger played all five offensive line positions in college. Has played both guard and center for the Chiefs.

Barry Richardson can play either tackle position. Started 15 games at right tackle last season and one game at left tackle.

Brian Waters had played both guard and center prior to 2010. Added left tackle to his resume last season when Branden Albert briefly exited a game at Indianapolis due to injury. Entered the NFL in 1999 as a tight end and also has seen reps as a short-yardage fullback.

Casey Wiegmann played guard early in his career before his ironman streak at center began in 2001.

Running Backs

Jackie Battle has played fullback, shortyardage back and tailback over the course of four seasons in Kansas City.

Tim Castille has lined up as a third-down tailback in addition to his role at fullback.

Wide Receivers

Dexter McCluster lined up in the backfield as a running back and in Wildcat sets as a rookie – totaled 18 carries for 71 yards (3.9 avg.).

This Chiefs fan knows his talent. Eric Berry is the most versatile defensive back on the team’s roster.

CONTINUED FROM Page 11 Most of the Chiefs’ wide receivers have lined up both inside and outside, depending on personnel packages and pre-snap shifts.

Tight Ends The Chiefs are flexible with the alignment of their tight ends. Tony Moeaki, for example, has lined up on the line of scrimmage and also been split outside the hash.

Jake O’Connell has aligned in the backfield as a fullback / halfback in certain personnel packages as well.

Defense Glenn Dorsey is the Chiefs’ most versatile defensive lineman. Rarely leaves the field and moves inside for sub-packages. Always seems like an annual candidate to play nose tackle.

Dion Gales, with his 6-5, 310-pound frame, stands out from the crowd. Has played both defensive end and defensive tackle when on the Chiefs’ 53-man roster.

Wallace Gilberry, an undersized defensive end, excels as a pass rusher, but also has moved inside during nickel sets. He has the size to play outside linebacker, but has yet to rep at that position.

Shaun Smith, known as “Deep Freeze,” has position flexibility that extends beyond his role as a short-yardage fullback. Smith came to Kansas City as a defensive tackle but settled in as a defensive end.

Charlie Anderson spent 2010 as a reserve outside linebacker, but also has played inside during his seven-year NFL career.

Eric Bakhtiari, a standout defensive end at the University of San Diego, converted into a 3-4 outside linebacker as a pro. He spent a portion of the 2010 season working at that position on Kansas City’s practice squad.

Camp Guide

13

Travis Daniels, cornerback, has played outside and also in the nickel for Kansas City.

Jon McGraw is everywhere. The veteran has pitched in at both safety positions, cornerback, nickel and linebacker during his four seasons with the Chiefs.

Ricky Price began last season listed as a cornerback; finished it as a safety.

Maurice Leggett won the Chiefs’ Mack Lee Hill Award as a cornerback in 2008.

Switched to safety in 2009 after beginning the season as a cornerback / nickel back.

Cameron Sheffield, a converted collegiate defensive end, is an outside linebacker for the Chiefs.

Donald Washington was drafted as a cornerback in 2009. He played safety in 2010. The Chiefs still officially list him as a cornerback / safety.

Justin Cole worked at both inside and outside linebacker during the 2010 camp.

Tamba Hali, a former 4-3 defensive end, led the AFC in sacks as a 3-4 outside linebacker last season. He still lines up with his hand on the ground in certain personnel packages.

Derrick Johnson started at both inside and outside linebacker positions in Kansas City’s old 4-3 system. We’ve yet to see him play outside in a 3-4 scheme.

Andy Studebaker entered the league as a defensive end and played that position briefly in Kansas City. Moved to outside linebacker in 2009.

Pierre Walters, a converted collegiate defensive end, is an outside linebacker for the Chiefs.

Demorrio Williams usually can be found at inside linebacker, but the Chiefs experimented with him as an outside pass rusher in sub-packages last preseason.

Eric Berry is the most versatile defensive back on the roster. Can aid at the linebacker level in run support or serve as a cornerback in a pinch.

Specialists Thomas Gafford, the long snapper, took reps at tight end throughout training camp in 2009. He has experience as a collegiate tight end as well.

Both sides of the Chiefs’ line offer opportunities for players seeking to make an impact in 2011.

Hey, remember me?

Nine Chiefs look to make contributions following limited roles in 2010

By JOSH LOONEY

Brad Cottam, tight end

Chiefs Insider

It happens every year. For whatever reason, some players drop out of sight only to come back and make an impact the next season. Some are coming back from injury, while others simply were buried in the depth chart or on the practice squad.

These Chiefs didn’t see much action in 2010, but were in the middle of storylines or position battles less than a year ago. Could one of them reemerge to play a contributing role in 2011?

Remember when we were debating whether Cottam would be ready for training camp?

The long road back continues for Cottam. Selected just three slots behind Jamaal Charles in the 2008 NFL Draft, Cottam hasn’t put on a helmet since suffering a severe neck injury Dec. 20, 2009, against Cleveland.

Still, he’s been reported as taking part in local workouts hosted by Matt Cassel this offseason.

Tony Moeaki is the future. Jake O’Connell’s stock appears to be climbing.

Leonard Pope may or may not be in the mix.

Cody Slate is an intriguing project.

Still, it’s too early to count out Cottam’s ability to recover. He’s a restricted free agent and, if tendered a contract offer, could make the battle for reserve roles at the tight end position worth watching.

Ryan Lilja and Jon Asamoah all factoring into the mix as well – not to mention swing players like Rodney Hudson and Rudy Niswanger. Regardless, Harris is a prospect the Chiefs have spent ample time trying to develop and obviously felt good about last preseason.

Darryl Harris, guard

Remember when Horne was the talk of last year’s training camp?

Remember when Harris ran with the first-team offense while Brian Waters missed the beginning of training camp?

After spending most of his rookie season on the practice squad, Harris looked like a prime candidate to break into the 53-man roster when he filled in for an injured Waters at the beginning of last year’s training camp.

Harris would rep as the first-team left guard for a significant amount of time, but suffered a knee injury in August that wiped out his early progress. He’d end up spending all of 2010 on Kansas City’s practice squad.

On the surface, it looks as if Harris faces an uphill battle for a roster spot with Waters,

Jeremy Horne, wide receiver

A speedster who can stretch the field vertically, Horne beat the odds and made Kansas City’s opening day roster. He’d stay active before suffering a minor foot injury and flip-flopping places with Verran Tucker on the practice squad.

Tucker made an immediate impact on special teams and went on to start two games at wide receiver, while Horne continued to develop his craft in practice. Horne had enough talent to make the 53-man roster last season and has enough talent to compete for a place on this year’s squad as well.

CONTINUED FROM Page 15

Rudy Niswanger, center

Reshard Langford, safety

Remember when Niswanger and Casey Wiegmann battled for the starting duties at center?

Remember when Langford rotated in and out of the first-team defense last offseason?

Eric Berry and Kendrick Lewis dominate safety chatter in Kansas City, but maybe it’s time to throw Langford’s name into the hat as well? No, not as a starter – Langford has yet to record a single defensive snap in a Chiefs uniform – but potentially as a role player in sub-packages and on special teams.

Langford began 2010 in a similar role, but an ankle injury derailed his season. Though he never landed on injured reserve, the heavy hitter would play in just six games last year.

Langford enters his third NFL season (second year in terms of accrued years) with a chance to show why the Chiefs plucked him off Philadelphia’s practice squad during the final weeks of the 2009 campaign.

Depending on whether or not veteran Jon McGraw is part of the picture, Langford’s chances to contribute could increase.

Niswanger’s career with the Chiefs has been somewhat bizarre. He joined the club undrafted and spent two years (2006-07) as the heir-apparent to longtime starter Wiegmann. When Wiegmann left for Denver in 2008, Niswanger went on to open 31 games at center over the next two seasons.

Then, at age 36, Wiegmann signed a one-year deal to return to Kansas City last spring. The two would split first-team reps before Niswanger ultimately lost the training camp battle and once again was relegated to a reserve role in 2010.

Niswanger’s place on the 2011 Chiefs is anything but certain.

He’s a restricted free agent and the team spent a second-round pick on guard / center Rodney Hudson. Still, it wouldn’t be a shock to see Niswanger back in Kansas City competing for time along the interior offensive line.

Camp Guide

Wiegmann’s future is up in the air and Niswanger offers the versatility, smarts and experience that many teams find appealing when building depth on the offensive line.

Cameron Sheffield, outside linebacker Remember when Sheffield was getting more and more looks last preseason?

The second of Kansas City’s two fifthround picks in 2010, Sheffield was the only draft pick from last year’s class that didn’t see the playing field as a rookie. He was lost for the season with a neck injury suffered against Philadelphia during the preseason.

At the time of his injury, Sheffield looked like a shoe-in to make the Chiefs’ 53-man roster. He was playing at a high level on multiple special teams units and getting looks in defensive sub-packages as well.

At the end of the postseason, Sheffield declared himself ready to return to action.

linebacker, but if Sheffield is anywhere near the same player as he was before the injury, he’ll have a chance to be a factor.

Anthony Toribio, defensive tackle Remember when the Chiefs claimed Toribio off waivers to bolster the defensive line?

Toribio played just 65 defensive snaps last season, all in a reserve role behind starter Ron Edwards. The 2010 season was essentially a redshirt year for Toribio.

The Chiefs like Toribio’s ability to develop into a prototypical 3-4 nose tackle and pounced on the opportunity to make a waiver claim when he was squeezed out of Green Bay’s deep interior defensive line last preseason.

By drafting Jerrell Powe in the sixth round this year, Toribio will be under much more competition for a place on the 53-man roster. Still, he’s very much in the mix for playing time at defensive tackle.

Linebacker Demorrio Williams, always competitive, appeals to the referee following a fumble by Denver last year.

CONTINUED FROM Page 17

Demorrio Williams, linebacker

Jerheme Urban, wide receiver

Remember when Johnson vs. Williams was the position battle of all position battles?

Remember when Urban looked like a sure contributor at wide receiver?

How much did the Chiefs miss Urban last season?

In a year where the Chiefs struggled to find a consistent receiving target opposite Dwayne Bowe, Urban was limited to a teaching role. The unrestricted free agent signee was, at the very least, supposed to be the Chiefs’ third or fourth receiver last season. Instead, he spent the entire season on injured reserve after suffering a hand injury during the final game of the preseason.

Jonathan Baldwin will contend to be the Chiefs’ No. 2 receiver on opening day. Even so, there’s still room for Urban to compete for time in the receiving ranks.

A regular starter for the Falcons and Chiefs since 2005, Williams played less than 150 defensive snaps last season – mostly due to Derrick Johnson’s high level of play.

Though he finished with just 10 tackles, one year after leading the Chiefs with 142 stops, Williams was never far from seeing game action. He lost a tight training camp battle with Johnson for a starting spot and continually pushed to regain that job. Williams’ competitiveness is one of the reasons Johnson enjoyed his most productive season as a pro.

Expect Williams to continue to push for playing time and perform his role on special teams at a high level. It’s likely that he’ll never be far from the starting lineup.

Q. What does it cost to attend training camp?

A. Nearly all practices are free. The exceptions are Family Fun Day presented Insur

by American Family Insurance (tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 6) and an additional special event planned for later in the camp. For these special events, admission is $12 with kids ages 3 and younger free.

Q. Where do I park?

A. The best places to park nearest the camp site are

Camp visitor overflow parking

J

Answers to your questions Lot H, the grass extension of Lot H and, on a crowded day, Lot J. All training camp parking is $5, with two exceptions. Parking is free for Family Fun Day and the additional special event still to be announced. Parking for buses and RVs has been set aside in Lot J at a charge of $15 per vehicle. Handicapped parking is available in each lot. Handicapped parking behind Baker Family Fitness Center is most convenient for guests requiring a level entrance.

Q. What goes on at camp?

A. The Chiefs will conduct a full schedule of practices during their 21-day stay in St. Joseph. They are authorized to have a 90-man roster in St. Joseph. But by the

end of camp, the coaches must cut that number to 53 players, plus a practice squad, in preparation for the regular season. Kansas City opens its season at home against the Buffalo Bills at noon Sept. 11 in a televised game on CBS. Q. What happens during inclement weather?

A. If a practice must be moved to the new Griffon Indoor Sports Complex, the public won’t be allowed to attend because of limited seating. For camp schedule updates, go to kcchiefs. com (the Chiefs’ website) or newspressnow.com (the website of the St. Joseph News-Press). The NewsPress site also allows fans to sign up for camp news

alerts to be sent to their mobile devices.

Q. What concessions are available?

A. Hamburgers, brats, hotdogs, barbecue, tacos, ice cream, soft drinks and water are among items available.

Beer also is sold but may not be carried outside the designated area. The Chiefs Team Store at the entrance to camp sells official player jerseys, hats and more.

Q. What’s the story about the indoor practice facility?

A. As part of bringing training camp to Missouri Western, the university built the $10.3 million Griffon Indoor Sports Complex. The Chiefs use it when weather disrupts outdoor practices.

The 118,000-square-foot complex includes a full-size indoor field, advanced injury treatment facilities and 120 custom-built lockers in the team locker room. Three areas recognize donors: the state-of-the-art Herzog Strength Training Room, the 120-seat KCP&L Lecture Hall and a large classroom named for the St. Joseph News-Press / St. Joseph Cablevision. These and other campus improvements, including two new outside practice fields, are available for campus and community uses when camp is not in session. Funding for the total $13.97 million project came from the state, the Chiefs, local city and county governments, and private gifts.

While the prospects for successful red zone receivers are looking up for the Chiefs in 2011, Matt Cassel didn’t appear above looking for some long-range talent in these three fans during last year’s training camp.

Red zone targets to even out

The addition of Jonathan Baldwin gives the Chiefs more receiving options inside the 20-yard line

By JOSH LOONEY Chiefs Insider

While Matt Cassel’s red zone efficiency was staggering in 2010 – throwing 18 touchdowns to just one interception – the Chiefs’ preference was to run the football when inside an opponent’s 20-yard line. The NFL’s

top-ranked running game had something to do with that, as did a shortage of red zone receiving targets.

For every red zone completion, the Chiefs ran the football 2.69 times. Kansas City attempted the seventh-fewest red zone passes (51) and the 10th-most red zone rushes (70) of any NFL team last season.

Though the workload weighted towards running the football, the Chiefs were effective on the whole, churning out a statistical “successful play� on 50 percent of their red zone snaps. That percentage ranked fifth in the NFL. (A “successful play� is achieved anytime the offense gains 40 percent of the yardage necessary for a first down on first down, gains 50 percent of the yardage necessary for a first down on second down, or gains the first down on third or fourth down.)

Where the Chiefs struggled was in obvious passing situations. The percentage of successful red zone plays decreased dramatically as third and fourth downs approached. While Kansas City’s first-down success rate was the league’s 2nd-highest (58.5 percent), second-down success dropped to an 11th ranking (52.5 percent) and thirdand fourth-down success fell to 19th overall (34.3 percent).

In balanced situations, the Chiefs were among the league’s red zone elite. But when pushed into pass-first situations, Kansas City dropped below average.

Outside of Dwayne Bowe, the Chiefs owned relatively few red zone receiving options in 2010. Bowe led the team in red zone targets (16), receptions (7), yards (56) and TDs (7).

Nobody else, especially among wide receivers, came close to getting as many looks as Bowe.

Jamaal Charles caught the second-most red zone passes (5) via short routes out of the backfield and Tony Moeaki drew the secondmost looks (9) as a tight end. Remove running backs, tight ends and defensive players from the equation and Bowe accounted for more than 50 percent of the Chiefs’ red zone passing targets.

Terrance Copper drew the most looks (6) of any wide receiver outside Bowe – a hefty amount considering that Copper caught a total of four passes throughout all of 2009.

Limited options led Bowe to receive the third-highest percentage (27.7 percent) of total team red zone targets in the NFL last season – only Larry Fitzgerald (30.8 percent) and Roddy White (31.0 percent) drew more.

CONTINUED FROM Page 23 Still, the Chiefs thrived. A lot of things went right in the red zone. It was a welcomed sight compared to previous seasons.

Rather than taking a sack or forcing a throw, Cassel didn’t hesitate to throw the football away and his efficiency soared. The rushing attack helped keep defenses honest on first down and Bowe put together a Pro Bowl season, leading the NFL in touchdown receptions.

The Chiefs’ red zone TD efficiency (59.6 percent) ranked in the NFL’s top 10, as did the club’s average points per red zone visit (4.85 points).

While critical scoring numbers may have increased, there’s still obvious room for improvement going forward. The addition of first-round draft pick Jonathan Baldwin

Camp Guide

will help make last season’s red zone accomplishments sustainable.

“He’ll add a dynamic to our team in the red zone,” General Manager Scott Pioli said.

Baldwin offers a legitimate red zone receiving threat opposite Bowe. His size and leaping ability should allow the Chiefs to open the playbook when red zone opportunities knock. As a college player, Baldwin was fearless across the middle as well.

“Offensively, I feel like we have a unique bunch that can do a lot of different things, which should make us hard to defend,” Chiefs Head Coach Todd Haley said on the NFL Network.

Two bookends are better than one, and Baldwin’s addition allows the Chiefs to exploit defenses with mismatches throughout various personnel packages.

Coach Todd Haley and General Manager Scott Pioli hope to increase the options for red zone passing this year.

MAKING A TEAM

New faces

Any chance for impact?

By JOSH LOONEY Chiefs Insider

A look at the opportunities for Kansas City’s nine 2011 draft picks to make an impact this year: WR JONATHAN BALDWIN (1st round): High opportunity The wide receiver position opposite Pro Bowler Dwayne Bowe is ripe for the taking. Undrafted free agent Verran Tucker, Chris Chambers, Dexter McCluster and Terrance Copper all made starts last year. Kevin Curtis signed before the playoff game and received plenty of work.

OL RODNEY HUDSON (2nd round): High opportunity All eyes are on the center position. It’s where Hudson is expected to begin his NFL career, and it’s where the entire Chiefs depth chart from last season – Casey Wiegmann and Rudy Niswanger – enters camp with questions about future roles.

OLB JUSTIN HOUSTON (3rd round): Moderate opportunity Tamba Hali, who led the AFC in

backs for positions within nickel and dime sets, but he could be a core special teams player.

QB RICKY STANZI (5th round): Low opportunity Matt Cassel is the starter. Barring injury, Stanzi will spend his first NFL season developing as a reserve quarterback.

OLB GABE MILLER (5th round): Low opportunity Miller is a former defensive end who will have to learn a new position. It will be interesting to see his learning curve.

Associated Press file photo

Jonathan Baldwin will be in the mix. sacks last season, returns along with Andy Studebaker. In addition to playing outside linebacker, Houston will be a candidate as a rush end.

DL ALLEN BAILEY (3rd round): Moderate opportunity Bailey’s versatility should increase his opportunity to see playing time in 2011. He’s projected as an inside rusher in sub-package sets.

DB JALIL BROWN (4th round): Moderate opportunity Brown’s opportunity looks like it will come on special teams and as a sub-package player. He’ll have competition with numerous defensive

DL JERRELL POWE (6th round): High opportunity The Chiefs likely aren’t done addressing the nose tackle position, but Powe entered late July as one of only two pure nose tackles under contract. Even if Ron Edwards is brought back, or another player is added, Powe should get plenty of opportunities to show what he can do.

FB SHANE BANNON (7th round): High opportunity Both Mike Cox and Tim Castille entered late July without contracts for 2011 and Bannon should be in the thick of the competition at fullback. Displaying the ability to play special teams could help his cause in making the 53-man roster.

Rapid changes mark Western’s growth Missouri Western State University’s reputation as an outstanding regional institution is growing rapidly. Originally founded as St. Joseph Junior College in 1915, Western became a four-year college in 1969, a full member of the state of Missouri system in 1977 and a university in 2005.

Western’s achievements in recent years Enrollment has set records for six consecutive years and surpassed 6,000 students in fall 2010. Western is the fastest-growing university in the state system.

Construction of Remington Hall and renovation of Agenstein Hall provide students with 120,000 square feet of state-of-the-art science and math instructional and research facilities.

Steven L. Craig School of Business achieved accreditation from the prestigious Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools

of Business International. Fewer than 5 percent of business schools globally have AACSB International accreditation.

Music students practice and perform on the finest pianos in the world, after the university became an All-Steinway School in 2010. Only about 120 institutions worldwide and just three in Missouri are All-Steinway Schools.

The list of graduate programs is rapidly growing. Western’s offerings include graduate programs in criminal

justice, education, engineering technology and nursing.

The Christopher S. “Kit” Bond Science and Technology Incubator became a leading feature of the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor when it opened in 2008. Now operating at near capacity, the incubator provides work space for firms employing about 50 people.

Completion of the new Spring Sports Complex, on James McCarthy Drive south of Faraon Street, provides the host teams and visitors with firstclass baseball and softball facilities with room to expand in the future.

Western’s newest residence hall, the 250-bed apartment-style Griffon Hall, will open in time for occupancy this fall in a step to keep up with the university’s growing student body.

And, of course, Western in 2010 became the summer home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Welcome, Chiefs fans!
