Visitors to Missouri Western State University for the 2014 Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp presented by Mosaic Life Care will have a family-friendly educational and entertaining option after most public practices. The Bushman Planetarium, inside Agenstein Hall, will put on shows on 13 days during the camp, beginning at 11 a.m.

The ticket price is $5 for adults and $3 for children and senior citizens. The planetarium is on the first floor of Agenstein Hall, which is located directly across Downs Drive from Lot H, the main parking lot used by training camp fans.
