It really is a nice place. Atlanta stole it. Take a look before it's gone if you are a football fan.

Great museum for football fans, or even just college sports fans. There are interactive displays where you can kick, block and throw. We got lucky and had the museum to ourselves, so our kids spent a whole lot of time in those displays. Then there were some interactive displays with strength and agility activities.

What a great place for banquets. A little expensive for non residents. Nice set up with winding walkways. Plus interactive areas too.

The building has its perks when it comes to the architecture of it. Otherwise it is okay. If you are into College Football. If you are from the area and a member of the Public library, you can get a pass for up to 6 people, for free. Enjoy

It's a fine little museum but small. It's also moving out of South Bend so there's some hard feelings there. If you're visiting the area it is something good to do when you combine it with something else (like Notre Dame or the Studebaker Museum).

Kinda cool, if you like college football. Sometime I do feel, why did they place this in South Bend, IN?
