THAT's the biggest complaint I have. And the others who are have booths at the Expo. The whole thing has completely outgrown Columbus. Arnold is tied to Lorimar and Columbus but it's really time to let the sentimental side of this go. They have had to move most of the events to other locations around downtown, the expo is over-run and the aisles are not wide enough, the restaurant have a 2 hour wait for a table, there are not enough hotel rooms, and the service is awful in every place I've been the last 3 trips except two. There is just no way they should keep this event in Columbus. It should be in warm weather and I understand that conflicts with Spring Break, but there are other options. I think it should be in Chicago or Orlando. There is no shortage of hotel rooms with 4 hotels attached around McCormick Place and they have over a million square feet. Within 5 min of MP are 90 restaurants. Not 12. And the event in Chicago would draw from the city itself. How many people can they get from Columbus?all the whey said:
Orlando has a convention center 2nd to MP with 900,000 sf and again, no shortage of hotel rooms or restaurants in Orlando. The Arnold would draw from the entire south being in Orlando. Orlando accomodates 55 million people a year just to Disney alone. The Arnold would be blip on the chart for Orlando in terms of it's infrastructure accomodating the attendees.
I have nothing against Columbus. I love to go to the horseshoe on Football Sat and I will continue to go when I can. But this show outgrew it 2 years ago.
