The Southwest Conference collection is a. Definite bright spot but overall, this place feels like a full scale lost...

If you like sports you should definitely visit this place. A must for sports fans! The museum is huge and has a lot of information. I didn’t know Texas had this many variety of sports.

My husband is a big football, baseball and basket ball fan and he loved it.

Lots of exhibits. Would take a true sports fan about 3 to 4 hours to fully see the museum. Glad we visited. There were not many people and it was so peaceful and we could take our time in...
