Chiefs to make themselves at home at Raiders HQ for Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs are again headed to the Super Bowl, and this time the Raiders’ AFC West rival will practice in enemy territory leading up to the game.
As the AFC representative in Super Bowl 58 — set for Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium — the Chiefs will practice out of the Raiders’ Henderson headquarters during the week leading up to the NFL’s championship game.
If having the Chiefs involved in Las Vegas’ first Super Bowl wasn’t tough enough for Raider Nation, the fact that the team will utilize the Raiders’ facilities made the situation even worse for some fans.
“Lock the doors, hide the silverware,” X user @Escalanate_Frank posted last week about that possibility.
The NFC representative, the San Francisco 49ers, will practice out of UNLV’s Fertitta Football Complex during Super Bowl week.
Both Super Bowl participants will stay at properties in Lake Las Vegas, far away from the Strip.
The Chiefs will look to become the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the New England Patriots in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
Kansas City defeated San Francisco 31-20 in Super Bowl 54 in Miami Gardens, Florida.
