Sports Museum of America

The Sports Museum of America is closed and will likely not reopen. National Sports Attraction LLC, which operated the Sports Museum of America in New York City, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in March of 2009, setting the stage for it to liquidate its assets.

The for-profit museum, a $100 million facility that opened in May 2008, had struggled with low attendance, and closed its doors in February 2009.
