Women's Basketball Hall of Fame

Everything about womens basketball is here! See a replica of an old locker room — quite a contrast to the modern locker room that comes next. Want to see what a player's locker really looks like? Well, here it is — complete with uniforms, shoes, warm-ups and all other kinds of neat stuff. The best part of the modern locker room exhibit, though, is the video. Here's your chance to sit in the locker room before the game or at halftime and listen to Pat Summitt (Tennessee), Andy Landers (Georgia), Theresa Grentz (Illinois), C. Vivian Stringer (Rutgers), Tim Ritchie (West Texas Flyers), Nell Fortner (USA Basketball), and Lynn Burkey, Jack Harlow, and Rick Insell (Tennessee Stars). There are lots of displays throughout the Hall of Fame with all kinds of unique memorabilia, from Olympic uniforms to WNBA gear, from rule books and balls to trophies and medals. Up above, there are more than 100 jerseys hanging from the rafters, representing players who have been recognized as high school or collegiate All-Americans. There are also two videos in this area — "Honor the Past," with former players, coaches and administrators talking about "what it used to be like," and "Current Champions," which gives you an inside look at some of today's top players, like Chamique Holdsclaw and Nykesha Sales. Interactive areas and much more.
