ST. JOSEPH, MO (AP) -- Retailers in St. Joseph can expect a bump in business should the Kansas City Chiefs chose to relocate training camp there.

Small towns like Berea, Ohio, Latrobe, Pa., and Mankato, Minn., have all seen a boost in business for the four weeks that NFL teams hold training camps during the summer.

Latrobe has enjoyed the summer spike for 40 years, attracting up 100,000 visitors to St. Vincent's College to see the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Chiefs are expected to spend part of a $25 million tax credit to build an indoor practice facility at Missouri Western State University and move their training camp from River Falls, Wisc., to St. Joseph in 2010.
