The Yum Cardinal Basketball Hall of Champions, an exhibit area in Freedom Hall dedicated to the rich tradition of University of Louisville Basketball opened its doors on Feb. 13, 2000.
Located in the front, southeast corner of Freedom Hall adjacent to the Cardinal Athletics Store, the hall is open during U of L basketball games; and during selected events in Freedom Hall. There is no admission fee.
The area was funded through a $500,000 donation by Yum Foods, a Louisville-based business which operates Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC restaurants.
Included in the Yum Cardinal Basketball Hall of Champions are various U of L basketball exhibits, an interactive trivia game, a theater featuring former Cardinal Basketball greats and past national championship teams, and other U of L memorabilia. The Hall was designed by Murphy and Orr of Atlanta, Ga.
