If you are somewhat looking for a basketball history museum, I would highly recommend visiting the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle, Indiana, mking a side trip on your way to or from the Chicago National. It is mainly Indiana's high school and college basketball history and it is more of a museum rather than interactive displays/games.

I'm not a big BKB fan so I've never been to that hof....besides, I heard they taxidermyed Manute Bole for a display...and that's just not right.

link
Phil,
Check out this link and see some actual constructive comments about the Hall. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio...achusetts.html At this site, when someone does not like something they actually tell you why which is basically what you asked for. Take the plunge. It's a good time especially if you have kids and if you enjoy basketball. Peace, Mike

Mike:
Thanks for the link, that was extremely helpful. I'm planning a triangular trip from NJ to Springfield and then on to Cooperstown and then back home. The first two legs of the trip will be about 2 1/2 hours each and the trip back home is around 3 1/2. I always love my visits to Cooperstown so even if Springfield isn't the greatest, it will still be a memorable trip. Now I just need to get out to Canton, OH the next time that the National Show is in Cleveland, only about an hour from there. Anybody care to comment on their Football Hall of Fame experience?

No prob....
Phil,
I agree, there is no equal to Cooperstown. It is hallowed ground as far as I'm concerned. Quick note about Springfield compared to Cooperstown. Go to the hoops HOF but don't expect to walk leisurely around and enjoy the neighborhood like Cooperstown. You will know what I mean when you get there!  They have helped folks a bit by having a walking mall with food court as part of the basketball hall of fame so you can eat and shop a little right there without having to go outside. Have fun. Nothing better than a road trip! Peace, mike Last edited by vthobby; 03-01-2015 at 11:44 AM.
