We're more than a museum

The Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum is much more than just a showcase of the Magnolia State's amazing sports heritage.

The museum's Trustmark Conference Center offers an ideal setting for seminars, training sessions, trade shows, banquets, family reunions and wedding receptions.

The conference room features 2,325 square feet of space with free use of advanced audiovisual equipment that has PowerPoint capability. Conference room rental includes the use of an adjoining kitchen, secure front door parking and free wireless internet.

The conference center, which can accommodate a crowd of up to 200, rents for $550 on weekdays and $800 on on Fridays and Saturdays.

For smaller crowds, the Hall of Fame also offers the Mezzanine level of the museum for $200 an hour (two-hour minimum).

For really special occasions the entire museum also is available for rental. For more information, call 601 982-8264.

“Revenue from the rental of the Trustmark Conference Center as well as the other museum spaces is a large part of our operating budget,” Rick Cleveland, the museum's executive director, said. “The museum has operated for 16-plus years without any tax money from any level of government. Rental of our excellent facilities is a huge part of how we do that.”
