They are split squad games, they will be breaking the team up to play both games, some players and prospects will stay for the Yotes and some will goto Kansas City...
hell yeah! i've no idea why they chose to come out and play in this po-dunk place i call home, but, i don't care! can't wait!
My guess for why they are splitting the team on Sept. 22 is that they had scheduling availability issues between Staples and the arena in KC. Since they are obligated to put on two pre-season games at Staples because they've sold tickets for two pre-season games to season ticket holders, they were left with no other option than to split the team.
