Memphis Sports Experience & Hall of Fame

The Memphis Sports Experience & Hall of Fame is a collaboration between Memphis Tourism and the Memphis Redbirds organization and is being led by two divisions of Memphis Tourism: the Memphis Sports Council and Memphis Management Group. It was created as a Bicentennial Legacy Project in 2019.

Our MISSION is to honor our area’s top athletes, coaches, administrators, and contributors by utilizing an innovative approach to educate our audience about the rich history of athletics in Memphis. 

Our VISION for the future is to serve as a vehicle to educate Memphis area youth on the value of athletics and the lessons learned through sportsmanship, teamwork, dedication and a healthy lifestyle.
