The U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and the Detroit News makes a case for Hockeytown to be on the list of destinations. The Hall was located in Eveleth, MN and closed its doors last Friday. Although most of the discussion has centered around moving the Hall to the Mall of America in Minneapolis, USHHF representative Scott Auld said:

"The board's position is to research what's going to be the best place for the Hall. Where that is, whether it's in Detroit or Des Moines, that's what everybody is trying to figure out ... Traffic, intangibles, hockey interest -- those things would certainly have a bearing -- and maybe some historical value."
