The aim of this paper is to examine a kind of open-air museumization of topophilic aspects of football in the birthplace of the Mohun Bagan Athletic Club in North Kolkata, West Bengal, India. While dealing with some graffiti, memorial plaques, and relief sculptures implanted in some public lanes of the Bagbazar-Sovabazar-Shyambazar area, it explores a sports-landscape bonding, which becomes instrumental for reminiscing, representing, and interpreting the heritage of an age-old football club during the new millennium. In doing so, this paper not only differs from the extant scholarships, which perceive museumizing of football only within the narrow premises of modern museums but also postulates that museumization of sports in an urban public space does not always get swayed by the for-profit model
