MANHATTAN – Visitors can extend football season into the winter and spring of 2014 by experiencing “Football,” a traveling exhibit developed by the Museum of Discovery. The exhibit opens Saturday at Flint Hills Discovery Center.

The 3,000-square-foot exhibition introduces visitors to the science, mathematics and technology behind the game and how they relate to everyday life. The interactive exhibition provides hands-on learning, covering a wide array of science topics through football-themed areas such as Forward Pass and Game at the Line of Scrimmage.

“The game of football is a uniquely American sport that millions of Americans have embraced and participated in for more than a century,” said Fred Goss, FHDC director. “The ‘Football’ exhibition at FHDC provides a unique view of the sport with the visitor gaining a greater understanding of the game in a way not seen from the stadium seat or living room.”
