Kentucky fans will have to go somewhere else to relive the glory days of Wildcat hoops, as the UK’s Basketball Museum has closed its doors.
The AP reports that lackluster attendance & financial problems have beset the Lexington shrine since it opened in 1999. Only 25,000 visitors per year have passed through its halls - a far cry from the 110,000 yearly fans that consultants had originally promised.
Apparently, the Tubby Smith & Gardner-Webb exhibits were a bit of a turn-off for those paying the $5 admission.
But fear not, ‘Cats fans - the museum still lives on through the wonder of the Internets! (For the time being, anyway, until they miss payment on the domain name & some porn company takes it over.)
