--Lamar Hunt, the Chiefs founder who died last December, was inducted into the inaugural class of the SMU Athletics Hall of Fame along with Forrest Gregg, golfer Payne Stewart and swimmer Martina Moravoca.

Though on a three-year reserve end for SMU during his collegiate days, Hunt became one of the school's most prominent alumni though his work in the old AFL and NFL, as well as helping establish an American professional league in soccer and an international tour in tennis.

--The Chiefs, who once maintained a long waiting list for the purchase of season tickets, now are involved in an intense marketing campaign that includes half-season ticket packages.

The club is offering one package for games with Arizona (preseason), Oakland, Tennessee, New Orleans and San Diego with another featuring St. Louis (preseason), Denver, Tampa Bay, Buffalo and Miami.
