Score Description
Sports
enthusiasts, rejoice! Located at the Luxor, Score! Sports Fan
Attraction is the first of its kind that offers fans the ultimate
interactive sports experience.
Even if you're not an athlete,
everyone can appreciate this all-around sports tribute. Score!, a
10,000-square-foot exhibit, combines authentic sports memorabilia, pro
athlete appearances and a live broadcasting station at the entrance. The
broadcasting station is also where athletes meet with fans and sign
autographs. Score! is expected to have at least 100 athletes visit per
year.
Since the attraction houses more than 200 artifacts and
features special guests, Score! teamed up with high-profile sports
properties including Pro Football Hall of Fame, Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame, NASCAR, National Hockey League and U.S. Soccer
Federation, to name a few.
“I like to call it an adult
Disneyland,” said Warren Moon, Pro Football Hall of Famer. “It doesn’t
matter what sport you like, it’s all in here.”
The interactive
attraction begins as soon as you enter. You'll fill out your fantasy
contract, select the team you want to play for and the salary you’d like
to earn. Throughout the exhibit, you'll receive texts consisting of
multiple choices -- situations that professional athletes face in real
life. Your choices determine the fate of your sports career. In the end,
you'll find out if you’re inducted into the Hall of Fame or cut. You'll
also have a fantasy press release posted to your Facebook page.
As
you explore the exhibit, try various physical and mental exercises such
as the broad jump, a stick handling exercise in a hockey rink, changing
the tire on a NASCAR vehicle, comparing your fastball to the pros, as
well as how your vertical jump measures against NBA Hall of Famers. The
music playing overhead is sure to get you in an upbeat mood.
"Everything
is very high energy,” said Jim Beckmann, CEO of Score! “You can do as
much or as little, or everything. It’s the choice of the guest."
Aside
from the interactive element, Score! partnered with several Hall of
Fame sports federations, making this museum the first of its kind: "This
is the first time in history that all of these sports properties agreed
to participate in a shared environment,” he said. ”It’s a big deal. The
credibility and prestige of these institutions elevate the cultural
aspect of the city’s sports fans [who] want something more than watching
on TV and placing a $10 bet."
With so many artifacts and history
material, Score! is every sports fanatic’s dream. Score! showcases the
entire career span of football Hall of Famer, Marcus Allen. Allen's
artifacts dates as far back to his high school football days to Super
Bowl. The attraction also features rare artifacts and memorabilia
including game-worn uniforms from Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson,
Kobe Bryant and more. The attraction also gives an inside look at
