If you are a sports fan, then it may appeal to you to know that new home of the Sports Hall of Fame will be in Port Saint Lucie . Most certainly you will know the geographical location of the baseball and football Hall of Fame. 

Sports fans can easily identify Cooperstown and Canton has the homes for the baseball and football Hall of Fame.  This is the place visitors can make their way through several floors of galleries and visit a hall, wall, or walk of fame is a list of individuals, achievements, or animals, usually chosen by a group of voters, to mark their prominence in their field. These halls of fame consist of museums that enshrine the honorees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia and general information regarding the inducted recipients.

Port St. Lucie, a Treasure Coast city could one day be on that list.  The South Florida location is now to host some of Florida's brightest athletes.  For example, an outfit worn by Chris Evert is displayed and an orange jacket of original Tampa Bay Buccaneer owner Hugh Culverhouse are two of the hundreds of sports mementos about to go on display at the MidFlorida Event Center in Port St. Lucie.  The MidFlorida Event Center is the new home of the Florida Sports Hall of Fame.  For Floridians it is an easily accessible location to pay homage to their favorite athletes.

Rick Hatcher, executive director of the Treasure Coast Sports Commission said, “These are athletes that have strong ties or either played for Florida based colleges or athletic teams."  The event center has been transformed with a thousand square feet of memorabilia.
