HISTORIC KEEPSAKE ITEMS

Unique Opportunity to Own A Piece of Jesuit Tiger History!

When Jesuit’s gymnasium was renovated in 2006, several floorboards from the original basketball court were salvaged. Now you can purchase your very own piece of the original gym floor from the legendary Tiger Palace!

This historic piece of Jesuit High School is part of the very same gymnasium floor that was created in 1962! The Tiger Palace was not just home to the basketball team, but it also hosted wrestling matches, P.E. classes, boxing matches, Mission Drive doughnut sales, student assemblies, concerts, pep rallies, dances, and more!

You can purchase your individual floor piece in three distinct sizes: 2 inches, 5 inches, and 10 inches. While the 2" floor piece is sold "as is", both the 5" and 10" floor pieces come mounted and custom framed, with a vintage photograph of Jesuit’s Tiger Palace. These unique and extremely limited collectibles make the perfect gift for any alumnus or fan of the Jesuit High School tradition.

To purchase your original Tiger Palace floor piece, please email the Alumni Office or call 813.877.5344, ext 704. These historic gymnasium floor pieces are limited to the first 500 individuals and can be viewed by clicking on the links below. All prices already include tax and shipping and handling:

All proceeds from the sale of the gym floor pieces will benefit Jesuit’s Annual Giving Drive. Not only is your gift helping Jesuit High School, but it is also tax deductible.
