Since opening in 1995, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has welcomed more than 10 million visitors from around the globe and generated more than $2 billion in economic impact for Northeast Ohio. In 2015, 500,000 people visited the Rock Hall, a figure which represents a 15% attendance bump from the year before. These visitors—90% of whom live outside of Cleveland—help the Rock Hall contribute $107 million in annual economic impact to the region.
I was off work for a couple months in '95, I severed the tendon on my left middle finger. I was already off so I went to the ribbon cutting with some friends. Skipped the concert though. I bought a membership this year. $75 gets me and a guest unlimited visits. I think it's about $20 to get in, so two visits and it's paid for. The membership fee is tax deductible. There are a bunch of special events for members and we get first crack at tickets for the induction ceremony. I may go in April. My friend was a big Dire Straits fan, if they get in we'll go.
