First of all, I'm from suburban Detroit. So I'm sympathetic to Cleveland here, if anything.
There have only been three inductions held in Cleveland, they're typically held in New York. You can read about the hilarious back peddling of the remark saying they regretted it being in Cleveland here: https://www.cleveland.com/popmusic/2...s_about_1.html
Did you read my previous posts? Or, y'all just believing your biased perceptions?
Here's info on the induction locations:
The formal induction ceremony has been held in New York City 26 times (1986–92, 1994–96, 1998–2008, 2010–11, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2019); twice in Los Angeles (1993 and 2013); and five times in the hall of fame's home in Cleveland (1997, 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2018).
Plus, the inductions will be in Cleveland again this year.
Where is the source that the organizers said they regretted put the HOF in Cleveland? Also, where do you think they currently have the inductions? You're from Chicago so you're used to having bright, shiny things. So, why doesn't Cleveland deserve bright, shiny things?
It does but Cleveland just isnt a destination for NOBODY.
I think Cleveland is a solid city but nothing is calling me to go to Cleveland.One unique thing is not gonna do it.It needs to have more attractions to lure people. Another museum,zoo ,etc isnt gonna cut it unless its very unique. Thats just the honest truth.
RRHOF gets 500,000 people a year, Even in Atlanta,Cneteenial Olympic Park get 3 million.

Cleveland isn't a destination for you, but it is for an increasing number of people. Get your head out of the sand . . . and try reading.

This is inaccurate. There have been 5 held in Cleveland; the 6th is planned for May of this year ... if, that is, the current coronavirus spread is controlled by then. And as you can see by the below chart, going forward, the plan is to alternate between NYC and Cleveland each year:
... and on this score, you're making much out of nothing. What's more important in the larger scheme of things for a city: where the induction ceremony is held or where the Rock Hall is actually located? I emphatically assert the latter... As great a city as New York is, it will never be associated with the R&RHOF ... Cleveland is and will be as long as the building sits in its downtown on the shores of Lake Erie.
I don't see any need to move it, but if it didn't exist yet and a location was being voted on, I think Memphis would be the perfect location considering its significance as the cradle of Rock & Roll, the home of many great early record companies who popularized the genre, as well as being an important centre of Delta Blues, which is a huge part of Rock music's DNA.
Besides that, Memphis is also one of the epicentres of Soul music, which certainly shares DNA with Rock and cross-pollinated with it throughout the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Some of the best Rock tunes I know are Soul tunes, if that makes any sense. For example, "Walk on By" by Isaac Hayes, "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding, or "Hard Times" by Baby Huey. Memphis is a city defined by its music, and a city where many genres were born and came together to create the Rock and Roll sound of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Even if Memphis wasn't the epicentre of rock for long, its influence on the sound would countinue for many years.
As the home of Rock and Roll, Soul, and an important center of Delta Blues, I would vote for Memphis as the home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame if it were just being built now.
So, you're saying that Cleveland doesn't deserve the RRHOF?
So out of all that,that what you got out of it?Even though my first state said YES to your answer?
You just dont want to hear the truth. The simple truth is,its just not a highly desirable place to visits. Why else do you think the RRHOF has such low attendance?

First, you need to get your grammar in order. Secondly, your facts. Obviously the below travel article from Austin, TX belies your premise of how undesirable Cleveland is as a tourist destination:
... and if you want to argue, consider that international travel magazines such as Conde Nast have ranked Cleveland high as a travel destination in recent years. If you don't believe me: Google it... You probably won't since you seem too laza and more comfortable in hiding among your anti-Cleveland stereotypical assumptions, ... and you know what happens when one ASSUMES...
