The Rams relocated to Los Angeles, which was a huge blow for the city of St. Louis. But maybe the Chiefs can make a move from Kansas City to fill the void in the Lou. Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt and team president Mark Donovan plans to make a “strategic approach” on marketing their team in St. Louis.
Donovan said that he appreciates the calls and emails he’s received from Rams fans now supporting the Chiefs because of the move, Via Kansas City Star:
“I’ve gotten texts and emails from fans saying I’m now a Chiefs fan, and we appreciate all that,” Donovan said. “But we’re going to take a strategic approach to that — we’re going to be respectful. They’ve been through a really tough process.
“We’re going to continue to do what we do, and we think with the success we’re having on the field and the success we’re having off the field, it creates a great opportunity for us.
Donovan stated that the Chiefs could have a great opportunity to market themselves for the Lou:
“The way the league rules work, there are differences with tickets, broadcast, television and radio (and) what you can and can’t do,” Donovan said. “Because it’s in the state we’re in, we have some rights there from a marketing perspective, but you’ve seen other teams reach out already. Indianapolis put a little campaign together to welcome fans over to Indy, and like I said, we’ll be strategic about it but we’ll be respectful about it.”
This could be a great move from the Kansas City Chiefs, As they welcome the city of St. Louis with open arms.
