Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans may have only seen legendary quarterback Tom Brady pick up one of his seven Super Bowl rings in pewter, but that title will live on forever in the annals of a fanbase that was waiting for someone like him to pull this team out of the doldrums they found themselves in.
Assuming that any Buccaneers fans have $35 to spend (or $20 for those under 15) and want to take a glimpse at the ring that helped make Tampa a champion for the second time in franchise history, Brady and longtime sportscaster Jim Gray can make that fantasy a reality.
Brady and Gray are partnering to open the Hall of Excellence at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort hotel. The Hall will feature artifacts and trophies from the biggest names and moments in sports and entertainment, all alongside an audio tour narrated by Morgan Freeman. Among the items that will be on display are all seven of Brady's championship rings.

Some of the sports items on display include a bat used by Jackie Robinson during his color barrier-breaking season in 1947, Michael Jordan's first pair of Air Jordan shoes from 1984, and boxing gloves used by Muhammad Ali. Want to see Kobe Bryant's jersey from his first nationally televised game and a golf ball used by Tiger Woods when he won his first Masters? Now you can!
The Hall will also feature a trophy room that will let viewers take a look at the Heisman Trophy, Vince Lombardi Trophy, and Olympic gold medals, just to name a few of the hardware pieces that will be on display. This could become a marquee destination for Bucs fans who want to make this pilgrimage.
Brady will also put some non-sports memorabilia from some of the biggest names in entertainment on display. Some of the items on display will include Oprah Winfrey's Presidential Medal of Freedom and Clint Eastwood's Academy Award for Unforgiven (1993).
While Brady is seemingly setting up Las Vegas as his post-football base of operations after taking an ownership stake in the Raiders, it is clear that Tampa remains near and dear to his heart after putting his Buccaneers jewelry on display.
