That's close enough, I might try to go. The location is supposed to be down by the WW1 museum, which is a good spot. I wonder how attendance works. Do you need tickets?
Maybe to get into certain areas you do but otherwise I think for the "general" area it is first-come first-serve. That may change from city to city though. Pretty sure it was that way for Nashville when the last time full crowds were allowed.

Well they replaced Hills speed. Also like that they have a legit talk WR. Sounds like they are also going to target a WR in the draft. Have seen Olave and Dotson mentioned.
It's reasonable when you consider how much Christian Kirk got and I don't think is that much better than MVS. MVS is a speed guy and he wasn't signed to be their #1 guy I'm sure but with him, JuJu, Hardman, and Kelce you now have some different types of guys for Mahomes to throw too. I also doubt they are done adding at the position as they are tied to some trade rumors for other guys and will likely add one in the draft now. The Hill trade opened up a bunch of cap space which KC needed to acquire help at multiple positions so the are far from done to making moves with this roster and also now have more draft picks they can use to make trades or move up spots to get guys they want in the draft.
This is addition by subtraction! Dude got burned so many times in pass coverage or had missed tackles. He was great on special teams and occasionally would come up with a big play on defense but those big plays did not offset all the big ones he usually gave up.
I'm pleased with the recent moves lately following the Hill trade. Filling in some needs with some solid players and not overspending on them. Need to have another good draft and address the secondary and pass rush on the edge. Just keep adding depth, as someone has said they seem to be following the Patriots system of stockpiling draft assets and adding depth and moving on from guys that will eat up too much payroll. When you have a QB like Mahomes you probably don't need a stable of All-Pro WR and RB to make him look good, he can elevate the play of those around him like Brady did. Just look at all the various RB they have run out there recently that they have been able to plug and play whenever 1 got hurt. Jones will fit right in I'm sure. He's still got Kelce as his safety valve in the passing game and I would guess you will see a more balanced number of targets spread around that WR group now that Hill is gone too.
Mahomes said yesterday him and the receivers are putting in extra work down in Texas. They are all hanging out and working on chemistry etc. Sounds like he is excited about having bigger receivers to work with and that can bring a new element to their offense.
With Debo Samuel wanting a trade from SF, it got me thinking, if you were KC, would you pursue him? I would love them to go after DK Metcalf (possibly giving up both 1st round pics for him), but Samuel would be cheaper I think. Both would be awesome adds to help replace Hill. The Chiefs have more pics than they can likely use, so I am for trading some pics for current players.
I assume both Debo and Metcalf take a 1st and somewhere in the same amount of money that Hill got.
Which begs the question would you have traded Hill outright for either one of those two? Get a tad younger, but not as much explosiveness. You dont really gain anything from the Hill trade then unless he really just didn't want to be here.
Think need to avoid wasting cap space on WR and dump it elsewhere this year and pick up a 1st round WR.
Yeah I agree, I don’t think it makes sense to trade Hill but then spend a lot of money or trade for another expensive WR
I doubt the Chiefs can afford to pay him as that was the driving factor to trade Hill plus they've already spent some of that money they saved in that trade too. They have the draft picks to make a move if they want but not sure about the money side. Debo would be a nice fit in that offense though.
Really like the Chiefs draft. Think they will probably resign Ingram and maybe another edge guy like Addison and I can see them adding another veteran swing tackle. I think their their first 5 picks will all be contributors in some way next season and think the OL from Kentucky could develop into a starter at some point in his career. He is an absolute mauler.
KC has had a fantastic offseason. Sign Sheldon Richardson and Melvin Ingram and they are clearly SB favorites.
They are managing the cap well. Draft filled holes and also gave them roster flexibility moving forward.
I think Rose makes practice squad at least.
I have read a lot of buzz about Chiefs adding Addison and Ingram. Seems like DT is in better position than end.
