Chiefs President Mark Donovan Shares Plans for St. Louis Market
Since we've got basically nothing to talk about right now...

http://www.chiefs.com/news/article-2...c?sf29265304=1

Chiefs president Mark Donovan was recently asked about the efforts to bring Chiefs Kingdom to St. Louis
The plan was to be patient and respectful to a community that had just lost a big piece of its identity.

With the Rams franchise moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles this past offseason, there was a natural connection between the reach of Chiefs Kingdom and the proximity to the St. Louis market.

On Friday, Kansas City Chiefs president Mark Donovan was asked about the plans to bring the Chiefs brand into a market that sits just a few hours down I-70.

“The day they announced that the Rams were leaving St. Louis, we got a handful of phone calls from people wanting to buy season tickets from St. Louis,” Donovan explained. “Then the day after they moved, we got a handful of phone calls from corporations in St. Louis saying, ‘We want to be partners with the Chiefs. Let’s talk about activation programs.’

“What we knew and respected was the process that town was going through,” Donovan added. “What their fans went through was tough—painful. When you move a football franchise, that’s ripping a big part of the town out of that town.

“We said publicly (at the time) that we’re going to be respectful, we’re going to be patient, and that we are going to enter the St. Louis market, but we’re going to do it at the right time.”

That plan was fast-tracked last week after the league sent a memo out to every owner, president and CEO in the NFL.

“The memo said that because the Rams are playing in Los Angeles, St. Louis is now an open television market,” Donovan explained. “For preseason television, we basically put our own networks together. So a couple of teams, including us, have lobbied the league and said we’re going to put our preseason games in St. Louis because it makes sense. We have fans there and we’re going to get in front of them now and develop that relationship.

“The league has decided that they’re going to allow any team in the NFL that can put together an adjacent network, which is really confusing and very complicated, but basically means that if you can make a chain link of networks—broadcast partners, to get you to St. Louis, then you can broadcast your games there.

“We knew that was coming and we have been working on this for the past few months. (Vice president of business development) Tyler Epp and his team have already negotiated deals, so our preseason games will be broadcasted in St. Louis. The plan is to have our shoulder programming, which is all the programming you see on our network, in St. Louis this season as well.”

For Donovan and the Chiefs, this is just the first step.

“We’ll be in there with a product,” he explained of the television programming. “Then we’ll continue to build relationships in the community.”

The Chiefs have already heard from military bases and schools in the area about wanting to do events with them.

“I think what you’re going to see over the next four of five years is a real resurgence of the Chiefs brand in St. Louis,” Donovan said. “We do have some advantages over the other NFL franchises, not only in geography, but because it’s in the state of Missouri, we’re the only team that can actually market our corporate partnerships as well as our brand in St. Louis, so that’s a big advantage.

“Again, we’ll do it respectfully, we’ll do it patiently and we’ll do it strategically.”

TL;DR - Not a ton of info, but the Chiefs are definitely going to make a push to "take in" Rams fans.

It'll be interesting to see what forms that eventually takes. It wouldn't surprise me to see something like a preseason games in St. Louis or something in the future.

Anyone remember how much of a presence the Chiefs had in St. Louis prior to the Rams moving the (and after the Cardinals left)?

When I was growing up in Springfield, mo. it was and still is STL Cardinals baseball and KC Chiefs football country.

STL had the Cardinals football team and it was a successful team. People always loves the Cardinals baseball team but it just wasn't the same with the football team. Don't know the history as to why Springfield became KC Chiefs country over the STL football teams but that cake was baked before I was born.

Kroenke made me dislike the NFL and that ass hat is reportedly trying to build a MLS stadium in the St. Louis area.

I'll stick with the Cardinals, Blues, and Kentucky sports. **** the NFL.

Gonna be funny when people in St. Louis start rooting for the Broncos because it's just easier to root for a winner.

Maybe. Since most Donks fans were more fans if Elway and Manning than Dungver fans. Why not add some more bandwagonees to that crappy fanbase?

There's not a person with a clue outside of Denver that believes the Broncos are going to be better than the Chiefs in the near future, but ok?

Get it all out while you can. Going to be a longggg year for you guys. I suspect most of your wont even be around by mid season.

Why the **** would people in St. Louis root for a team that's 10+ hours away when the Chiefs, Colts, and Bears are all less than 6? Shit, the Saints are 9 hours away, too.

NFL's dead to me, though. The NFL/Kroenke ****ed over STL in order to "right a wrong" to make money. And the NHL even showed they gave a shit about St. Louis by Bettman flat out saying he hoped it would help heal civic pride.

Though I certainly can't understand what you're going through, I'll be interested to see if you still feel that way once we hit October/November. No more baseball, NHL season is slow, and the itch to get into the NFL routine starts to hit...

How do you think that lifelong fans in Los Angeles felt about the Rams moving after being in the city for the first 31 years, then in Anaheim the following 14 years?

St. Louis has never been a good football city, which goes back to the Cardinals.
