Promotional Statement

THE VISION: "To be an enduring point of pride for Delaware's sports history and an inspiration to today's youth."

THE MISSION: "to honor the state's outstanding athletic performers and others who had brought recognition to the First
State through sports-related activities."

As part of its celebration
of the nation's bicentennial in 1976, Delaware's Revolution Bicentennial Commission formed the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame. With University of Delaware football coach "Tubby" Raymond as its chair, the committee welcomed its first set of inductees in April 1976.

In January 1993, the Delaware Sports Authority allocated 2600 square feet for a permanent home for the Hall of Fame in the new Minor League Daniel Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, Delaware.
