Dear Stockholder:

We have previously sent you material relating to the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of The Sports Authority that was held on June 1, 2000. The meeting
has been adjourned until Tuesday, June 27, 2000 in order to allow sufficient
time to obtain the additional voting needed to pass the third proposal submitted
for your approval.

This proposal is an amendment to our Director Stock Plan in order to increase
the number of shares issuable from 156,861 to 600,000, to extend the term from
December 31, 2004 to the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, and to allow
Directors to receive their retainers in the form of options rather than
restricted shares.

The required vote to pass the amendment is a majority of the outstanding shares.
If you own your shares in street name, your broker cannot vote your shares for
you on this proposal without specific voting instructions from you.

Your vote is urgently needed to avoid the continued expense of additional
solicitations on this proposal. Please sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy
card today using the enclosed postage paid envelope provided. We appreciate your
cooperation in this matter.

Very truly yours,


Martin E. Hanaka
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
