The city of Columbus Ohio has hosted the Arnold Classic for decades and the city as made 100’s of millions off the traffic the Expo generates. This year the city cancelled the event due to the potential threat of the Corona Virus  , while allowing other events to still go on, as well as many other cities with sporting activities. This led to 100’s of vendors losing losing tens of thousands each and for a select few way more. The vendors and spectators have supported this show for decades and the City with only 10, 000 signatures canceled the event THE DAY BEFORE. Causing a serious financial loss to 300,000 people

It is time to move the show from the horrendous winter climate, to a city or cities that would love to have the spectators , vendors, athletes and revenue from such an event. I, for one, have wanted to move the event for over decade, as the event has more than outgrown the city and honestly who wants to say they visited one city so much in their life ?  Especially when the city gave no thought to the huge financial loss to ALL parties , including its own service industry ... regardless of this petition going thru one thing is certain, there will be a drastic reduction in vendors next year! Signed those who are out a lot money
