'EVERYONE ONE OF US IS A WALKING ‘MUSEUM OF SPORTS.’
From your first ballgame with your parents… to getting that very first autograph… to taking your own kids to their very first game.
It’s the feeling we all get that brings us back to our own personal Philly “Field of Dreams” and “The Museum of Sports Show” is On-the-Air and ready to go there with you!
Our show is dedicated to sports memories, memorabilia, and the museum that’s going to capture it all in the newly reimagined South Philly Sports Complex!
The Museum of Sports will be a permanent, interactive museum celebrating America’s greatest teams and athletes. It will be one of the world’s only museums celebrating all major sports.
The MoS will display world-class collections of priceless memorabilia, a high-tech array of digital and virtual reality activities for families and schools, plus a theater, sports restaurant, and shops for collectibles and memorabilia.
