Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes eagerly anticipates what lies ahead for his teammate and close friend Travis Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp. Netflix will release Happy Gilmore 2, featuring Kelce, on July 25—and the team has something special planned.
Before the film’s debut, the Chiefs will gather at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, where they plan to celebrate Kelce’s big-screen appearance. The day promises to be more than just another training camp session.
A Movie Night for Team Bonding
Mahomes shared his excitement with NFL reporter Kay Adams: “Happy Gilmore is an iconic movie from my childhood… Having Travis Kelce in it—and I’ve heard his role is awesome, though he won’t tell me much about it,” he said, smiling.
Mahomes has a clear idea in mind: “I want to rent out a movie theater and make it a team bonding experience.” The event offers a perfect chance for the team to relax, laugh together, and honor Kelce’s involvement in the new Adam Sandler film.
A key date for the Chiefs
July 25 lands on a Friday, the end of the Chiefs’ first practice week. That morning, they’ll train on the field. That night, they’ll head to the theater. And the next day? They’ll enjoy their first day off from camp.
As Kelce enters his 13th NFL season on July 22, he continues to train quietly, avoiding the spotlight during the offseason. Meanwhile, Mahomes keeps his focus razor-sharp. Back in June, he declared, “I’m only focused on Super Bowl rings… Last year wasn’t a success for me, and I’m motivated to make sure we get that next ring this year.”
With football, film, and friendship blending into one big celebration, July 25 looks set to be a memorable date for both Kelce and the Chiefs.
