Kansas Sports Museum

The Kansas Sports Museum was a great way to spend an afternoon out of class. The facility, I thought, was pretty accommodating despite being located in a strip mall off the freeway in Newton, Kansas.
Once inside the maze of memorabilia, I became lost and intrigued with Kansas' rich sports history. With such a large space they did a nice job filling the walls and dedicating sections to there respective sport.
I especially enjoyed the Sports Illustrated wall. There are a lot more athletes with Kansas connections that have graced the cover than I thought, or remembered. This wall, being one of the first in the museum, was dedicated to some of sports greatest athletes. To be a kid and see this would be pretty exciting, and offer hope of being on such a monument.
I liked how high school sports teams and JUCO teams in Kansas were a part of the museum, as we know, there have been some great teams that have produced quality players over the years.
I would like to see the new Kansas Sports Museum with updated memorabilia. I didn't see anything about KU's 2008 national championship. I think Mario's "Miracle shot" deserves a little screen time, perhaps on a loop.
Perhaps by moving into its new location at the Boathouse, the museum will be able to expand its collection. They should have plenty of room for more interactive stations, and by the time they get settled in, hopefully a few more Kansas teams will make history.
