Event & Arena News

COLUMBUS, OH – In anticipation of a capacity crowd attending the daytime Get Motivated business seminar at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday, November 13, event attendees and downtown commuters are advised to allow plenty of extra time to reach their respective morning destinations. Get Motivated coincides with regular business hours starting at 8 a.m. and is expected to conclude at approximately 4:45 p.m. Doors at Nationwide Arena will open to guests at 7 a.m.

Due to downtown parking lots and garages committed to monthly daytime parkers and a capacity event at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, there will be no downtown parking available to Get Motivated attendees.

Instead, arrangements have been made to offer seminar attendees free, secured parking and shuttle service from the Ohio State Fairgrounds located off I-71 at the 17th Avenue exit. Buses will run continuously between the Fairgrounds and Nationwide Arena starting at 6 a.m. through the expected conclusion of the event around 5 p.m. and until all guests have been transported back to the Fairgrounds parking area.

Commuters not attending the event are advised to expect heavy congestion on all downtown streets and freeways during both morning and evening rush hours. Carpooling among commuters is strongly encouraged.

Get Motivated speakers scheduled to appear include General Colin Powell, Steve Forbes, Joe Montana, Archie Griffin, Zig Ziglar, Dr. Robert Schuller and others.
