Legacy Hall

We have wanted to visit Legacy Hall for a long time.  It was great to finally go.  Legacy Hall is a museum of BYU athletics.  It is also the headquarters of BYU football.  They have their practice facility there.  It mainly has memorabilia of all the great athletes from BYU history.  I mostly knew the football and basketball players.  It was really cool to see jerseys and shoes and awards from these players that went on to be pros.  The boys had a good time, but were more interested in going up and down the elevator than in seeing the BYU stuff.  

As we were just about to leave, a man there asked us if we had a bit of time.  He said that he wanted to take us on a back stage tour.  It was really cool.  He took us back to see the weight room, the practice field, the locker room, the training room, the coaches’ offices, and the team meeting room.  He told us that BYU football spends $120,000 per year on tape for ankles and wrists.  All players, more then hundred guys, have to have their ankles taped every time they play and every time that they practice.  That may seem like a lot of money but, the football program brings in a lot more than that.   

The team meeting room is a large auditorium.  The seats were twice as wide as normal seats.  They have to be big enough to fit 300 lbs players.
