HALL OF FAME PLAQUES AVAILABLE

Because of changes to the Peoria Civic Center Complex, The Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame inductee plaques that were on display in the Arena have been taken down and moved to a new and more accessible location. In order to display all the plaques in a smaller area and provide space or future inductees, the plaques have been resized. The original plaques consequently could not be used and are now for sale.
