Chiefs Learn Pre-Season Foes

The NFL has announced pre-season opponents for the 2009 season.

The Chiefs will open their pre-season schedule at home against Houston on the weekend of August 14-15-16.

They will play on the road at Minnesota on the weekend of August 21-22-23.

Seattle will visit Arrowhead Stadium on the weekend of August 28-29-30.

And the Chiefs will finish up the pre-season with their Governor’s Cup game against St. Louis on September 3 or 4.

Exact dates and times have not been determined and there’s always the possibility that some of the games could move to a Monday or Thursday night for TV or stadium purposes.  Right now, there are 11 national TV games scheduled in the pre-season and the Chiefs are not part of any of those broadcasts.

If the past is any indication, the NFL regular season schedule should be released sometime in the next two weeks.  The Chiefs already know they will host games against San Diego, Denver, Oakland, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dallas, New York Giants and Buffalo, while traveling to games in San Diego, Denver, Oakland, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Washington and Jacksonville.
