History
California Sports Hall of Fame has no permanent headquarters yet. It had been reported in 2011 that the Ontario Convention Center would serve as its headquarters for the "next decade". In June 2023, the Ontario Convention Center hosted a gala to commemorate the new inductees into the hall of fame.
After he was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, Christian Okoye approached the late Bill Walsh, Tommy Lasorda and coach John Wooden to help establish a Hall of Fame in California. 19 Sports heroes were then inducted in the inaugural ceremony.
