From The President

Nothing rallies the people of our state together more than sports and their Arkansas sport’s legends.  Our members and our Board of Directors have elected a great class for induction in 2007 to the Hall of Fame.  Thank you for taking the time to pay homage to these great Arkansans and their contributions to the world of sports.

2007 is an historic year for your Sports Hall of Fame.  The dream of having an Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame Museum is finally a reality.  Construction is completed at Alltel Arena and the exhibits are ready to be put into place.  Thanks to so many of you who have contributed your time and financial resources to make this dream a reality.  This first class facility in close proximity to the Clinton Library should benefit the whole state of Arkansas and this region of the country.  Our high profile location in the Rivermarket area of the vibrant North Little Rock/Little Rock downtown should attract many visitors from Arkansas and around the country.  This permanent home to our sport’s legends will honor those in a meaningful way who have done so much to add to the fabric of our great state through their athletic achievements.

As difficult as it was to raise the funds and to see this project get to this point, our real work is just beginning.  We must now work harder than ever.  We need your support more than ever!  If you are not a member of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, please join.  Your membership will give you the opportunity to nominate and vote on future inductees to our Sports Hall of Fame.
