Big Ten Experience To Open In Rosemont, Illinois

As the Big Ten continues to grow and change, some things are perceived as positive and some as negative.  Adding Nebraska was seen as an exciting move, but moving the Big Ten Tournament to Washington, D.C. was not seen quite as well.  With each year, the Big Ten continues to change and adapt.

One of the exciting changes is the addition of the Big Ten Experience.  The Big Ten has allowed select viewers inside, but on June 7th, the exhibit will be open for everyone to see.  The Big Ten released a statement announcing the museum's appearance.  It includes details on the location, cost, and hours of operation.
