The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame honors the past, celebrates
the present and promotes the future of women's basketball.
What is the giant
basketball made of? The giant ball, located at the
north end of the Hall of Fame, is identical in detail to a
regulation basketball. This ball, though, has a steel framework and
a fiberglass surface. The surface even includes the 96,000 plus
"nubs" that cover a regulation basketball. The finished ball, with
paint, weighs approximately 20,000 pounds.
The Hall contains various memorabilia and exhibits highlighting
the past, present and future, of women's basketball.
