The purpose of the petition is to show that a large number of people don't want the building demolished. That is why you sign petitions. Petitions are not forums for debate.

I am a 3rd generation Chautauquan. My grandparents had a gate pass for years and there is nothing like attending an event at the Amp. Please do not change what makes this place so extraordinary

Some of my happiest childhood memories are of the Chautauqua Amphitheater. It is a national treasure and should be preserved. I couldn't have said it better than the Buffalo News article: "The Amp brings you in touch with a simpler time; a time when things moved a bit slower; a time before air conditioning and selfies. The deeply embedded character of a place like this can only be achieved through time and the contributions of many generations. It can’t be designed. Is it necessary to remove this treasure and all its history in order to exist and stay relevant in the modern world? Does advancement for the sake of advancement have to be forced at the cost of something that is already wonderful?"

This iconic building has been woven into the lives of many in WNY. I have too many memories to count of this building.

The open air theatre is iconic and not replaceable. If torn down it will erase all vestiges of Chuatauqua's continuing o Americn life and culture.
