University of North Carolina basketball fans can purchase a part of history as Steiner Sports Memorabilia, Inc. and Tar Heel Sports Properties have donated a portion of the floor from the 2009 NCAA Men¹s Basketball Final Four to Coach Roy Williams and the UNC Athletics Department.
The center jump circle logo from Detroit's Ford Field now has arrived in Chapel Hill. To commemorate the Tar Heels' recent 2009 NCAA Final Four Win Steiner Sports will be partnering with the Tar Heels to produce a special Tar Heel themed basketball memorabilia line. Collectors and fans now have the opportunity to purchase pieces of the court online via tarheelblue.com and steinersports.com. Steiner Sports will cut the floor into small, souvenir pieces, and place them in commemorative plaques. Approximately 200 of the floor pieces will be autographed by Coach Williams and several members of the Tar Heel's championship team.
"The Tar Heels have such a widespread, tremendous fan base across the country that we knew if we were able to capture a part of this year¹s Final Four and make that available to them, it would be valuable," said Pete Kelly of Steiner Sports.
"We wanted to do something special to mark the Tar Heels 2009 championship," said Gary Sobba, GM of Tar Heel Sports Properties. "The floor is expected to go on sale today. We expect this to be immensely popular and fans can order the floor on-line. What an outstanding memory to grab hold of from the Tar Heels victory in Detroit."
