DICK'S SPORTING GOODS

Leave it to the new kid on the block to take home the prize. But then again, Dick's is a sporting goods store, and sporting goods stores play to win.

One of Knoxville's newest stores is also one of it's most mesmerizing. You could spend an hour just browsing the shoe selection. There's Adidas, New Balance, Nike, Reebok, Timberland and Puma. This place even sells wrestling shoes.

Then there are the acronyms: NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NCAA, WNBA and NASCAR.

No matter what your passion -- whether it's lacrosse, paintball or just using the treadmill after waking up in the morning -- Dick's Sporting Goods has the goods ... er, the sporting goods.
