howardSteve I agree that the entry fee alone didn't sink the museum. Tourist tastes surely did have something to do with it. Perhaps a museum of international sports rather than just American sports may have fared better. But the entry fee absolutely kept people away. It kept me away and it kept many friends and their kids away. I live in the area and I don't even know of anyone who has been there and it's specifically because of the high admission price.
Bryant Park? You need to get to East New York, City Island, Washington Heights, etc. THAT's the periphery of New York : )
