                               AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
                      AMENDED AND RESTATED RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         This Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, by and
between The Sports Authority, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as Rights Agent
(the "Rights Agent"), is made and entered into as of February 19, 2003.

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Rights Agent are parties to the Amended
and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2001 (the "Rights
Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company proposes to enter into a certain Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Gart Sports Company
("Parent"), Gold Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub") and the Company, pursuant to
which Merger Sub would merge (the "Merger") into the Company and all of the
outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company would, by virtue of the
Merger, be automatically converted into shares of the common stock of Parent;
and

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of the stockholders of the Company to amend the Rights Agreement in
the manner set forth herein in order to permit the Company to enter into the
Merger Agreement and effect the Merger without causing a Triggering Event; and

         WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement provides that, prior to a
Distribution Date, the Company and the Rights Agent may amend the Rights
Agreement without approval of the holders of Company common stock;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. The definition of "Acquiring Person" in Section 1(a) of the Rights
Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to the end of such
definition:

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (i) Gart Sports Company
                  ("Gart"), a Delaware corporation, (ii) Gold Acquisition Corp.,
                  a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"), (iii) any Affiliates or
                  Associates of Gart or Merger Sub nor (iv) Green Equity
                  Investors, L.P., which shall enter into a Voting Agreement
                  (the "Voting Agreement") with the Company pursuant to which it
                  agrees, among other things, to vote in favor of the merger of
                  Merger Sub into the Company (the "Merger") in accordance with
                  the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger to be entered
                  into by and among Gart, Merger Sub and the Company (the
                  "Merger Agreement"), shall be deemed an Acquiring Person by
                  virtue of the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the
                  Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger
                  Agreement or the Voting Agreement.

         2. Section 1 of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new paragraph at the end of Section 1:

                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement that might
                  otherwise be deemed to the contrary none of a Distribution
                  Date, Stock Acquisition Date or Triggering Event shall be
                  deemed to occur, in each such case, by reason of the approval,
                  execution or delivery of the Merger Agreement, the
                  announcement or consummation of the Merger or the consummation
                  of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
                  Agreement. No such event shall entitle or permit the holders
                  of Rights to exercise the Rights or otherwise affect the
                  rights of the holders of Rights, including giving the holders
                  of the Rights the right to acquire securities of any party to
                  the Merger Agreement.
