- An interactive area where visitors can shoot hoops, kick field goals, and test their skills

Background
Created in 1956 as the Georgia Prep Sports Hall of Fame and expanded in 1963 to include college, amateur, and professional sports, the Hall moved into its permanent Macon home in 1999. It honors athletes across baseball, basketball, football, golf, Olympic sports, and more, adding new inductees each year.
