from Pat Borzi of the New York Times,
Attracting people to the Hall has been difficult. The three-story white building is visible and accessible from State Road 53, a four-lane highway leading to northern lakes, rivers and campgrounds. Hubbard said the road was much busier in the summer than in the winter, making the Hall a seasonal attraction.
Some critics of the Hall in Eveleth blame poor marketing for its problems.
“I don’t think they really exploited it,” said Mary Baratta, who owns Mary’s Morsels, a popular coffee shop not far from the Hall. “They thought they’d hang some rusty skates, open the doors and people would come. You have to market yourself.”

I’ve been to the USHHOF three times during hockey season when it has been closed. Unannounced. Remarkably, one was the Monday after a big spread on the Hall in the Pioneer Press. Terrible management, and a bad location.
