Family Fun Night Will be Aug. 5

June 29, 2006

This year's Family Fun Night, sponsored by Viking Coca Cola of River Falls, will be on Saturday, Aug. 5 at the Ramer Field Sports Complex.

There will be food, beverages, the Chiefs Experience, face painting, snow cones, and many other foods and experiences available at the event.

Gates to the Ramer Field Sports Complex will open at 4 p.m. Skydivers from the Indianhead Sport Parachute Club will descend onto Ramer Field at about 5:20 p.m., weather permitting.

At 5:45 p.m., Chiefs, Wisconsin and local dignitaries will address the crowd.

Fans wishing to seek autographs will be permitted to walk onto the Ramer Field track beginning at 6:05 p.m. There will be no autographs along the South fence of the practice fields as in previous years.

The University does not permit cleats or spiked shoes on the track surface. Fans may not bring gum, food or any beverages other than water onto the track with them.

A 20-minute autograph period will be conducted from 6:30-6:50 p.m., on Ramer Field to ensure that practice may begin promptly at 7 p.m.

There will be no pre-determined locations for position groups to sign autographs as in previous years. Fan assistance personnel and security will be located on the track to ensure the safety of all in attendance.

Individual Chiefs players and coaches will be randomly distributed around Ramer Field, meaning all fans in attendance will have a better opportunity to secure an autograph.

Fans will be allowed to solicit one autograph per player. Players have been instructed not to sign multiple items for the same individual. For the benefit of other fans in attendance, please ask for only one autograph per player. Fans may solicit autographs from multiple players should time permit.

The Kansas City Chiefs and the University make no promises or guarantees that each fan in attendance will be able to secure an autograph or to obtain an autograph from the player of their choosing. The Chiefs will make every effort to greet as many fans as possible during the allotted 20-minute autograph period.

At the conclusion of the autograph period, fans will be asked to disperse from the track in an orderly fashion into the stands or behind the fence surrounding the practice field.

Once practice concludes, fans are asked to respect the fact that players and coaches may still have meetings and other responsibilities that evening. Any individuals choosing to sign autographs at that time will be doing so at their discretion.

After practice, Chiefs Coach Herm Edwards will present trophies to the first, second and third place winners of the Punt, Pass & Kick competition.

After practice, which is schedule to run from 7-8:30 p.m., and when it is dark enough, a Rolf Halvorson fireworks display will cap off the evening.
