Sport can be heritage, and sport heritage attractions such as halls of fame,
museums, and stadium tours can be one of the more potent forms of heritage
tourism. However, few studies have examined sport heritage attractions, nor
considered their construction. This paper examines three ways in which sport
heritage attractions are constructed, exploring in particular the human dimensions of
sport heritage, the link between sport heritage and legacy, and the relationship
between sport heritage, tourism and globalization. Several outcomes of these
constructions are examined, both in terms of the representation sport heritage as
well as implications for the attractions themselves. Ultimately, this paper seeks to
consider sport heritage, and its constituent attractions, in wider heritage and heritage
tourism debates
