That's if you can find a room within 50 miles of the convention center.  I knew of people who would book a year in advance of the event.

I've stayed at the Hyatt and where the competitors stayed too but one year I stayed at little condo with another couple and that was nice. It was about a 20 minute drive. The last time I went I stayed at the Hyatt and didn't go to the expo. When I saw how crowded I said fuck it.

why would it be difficult to get a room at the Arnold weekend

they probably get more people going to fucking sewing conventions.

Now way will you get a room unless you book the year before and that's at the surrounding hotels. You can forget getting one at the Hyatt. Taxi cab drivers love the AC. The whole town makes a fuck ton of money that weekend.

Not true.  I went to the Arnold last year.  They had an estimated 200,000 pass through the Expo.  Every hotel room in the city of Columbus, and surrounding areas was sold out.  I can personally vouch that there were a LOT of people at the Expo; it was jammed.  The contest finals was nearly sold out and it must have seated 3-4,000 people.  I was fortunate that I made my hotel reservation a couple of months in advance, but still, my hotel was a mile and a half away.  Fortunately, and surprisingly, there were free shuttle buses that ran from each hotel to the Convention Center.

And yes, the whole town makes a fuck ton of money off the Arnold.  I would safely bet it is the most prosperous weekend in Columbus of the entire year.

Maybe it's different today? I have generally drove to the event and after going to pre judging and the expo would drive back home.

10 years ago you had to make reservations at least a month in advance.

It's not so much the bodybuilding/fitness expo it's all the other events. Kids and adults dance competitions, MMA, jujitsu tournaments, arm wrestling, etc.... there is literally 50 different events a day. I think one time there was a tennis tournament or something as well.

Its a sea of people. The promoter (Arnold?) was smart enough to make bodybuilding a side attraction to all of the other crap.

If all your info came from this board you would think bbing is on it's last legs. At death's door.
Just dying a slow and agonizing death. But in the real world, which few here seem to venture out
away from the basement and keyboard, it's bigger and more prosperous than ever. Prize money
keeps going up, fan base increasing, more competitors from all the different classes than ever
before. Just like the Olympia, you ain't getting in unless you plan far ahead of time and spend
some serious ching.

Hm, true.  I suppose what the naysayers mean is that bodybuilding itself is a smaller part of the total pie chart, with all the new categories for competitors.

But as someone who has been to something like 17 bodybuilding expos, you are absolutely right - the expos are bigger than ever before.  The prize money is higher than ever before.  Everything is up.  So you do have a good point.  And you are right that some of those who don't go to expos don't notice that.

Bodybuilding magazines may be on their last days - however few are even left - but that can be said for the entire magazine industry.
