Some of the greatest events in Columbus are held at this wonderful facility. Including my daughter's recitals. We certainly do not need to destroy something so great for an amphatheater that can only be used in fair weather and another zoo, when we already have the best zoo in the country.

Renovation only! Why is it always the veterans that have to suffer, never the politicans?

Please consider a more imaginative plan that respects the history of Veterans Memorial. Preserve the Memorial and the theater. Limit redevelopment of the facilities to the Exhibition Halls.

Replace a perfectly good, well built building? And we're already broke! Are you people crazy or do you just act that way?

Veterans Memorial is a wonderful venue that is an important part of our community. I have spent many weekends there with dance recitals and have also earlier seen concerts there. Please reconsider and let this wonderful building built for our Veterans remain open. It is a valuable landmark for our community.

Vets has been a second home to me, my sister, and now my daughter as we are all Straub dancers. It is an amazing facility to us and many other patrons and is a landmark in our downtown culture.

To replace this amazing building with an interactive kiosk to honor the Veterans and another amphitheater is laughable. Plus how many people would be out of a job? Who is going to use an outdoor amphitheater in the cold? Obviously the proponents of this are not Veterans, and if they are then shame on them.

Tearing down this iconic building would be a tragedy. Especially since the Veterans, who the building was for, don't want it torn down. City "Leaders" championing its demolition are not only short sighted but don't know or appreciate the significance of this historical building!

Veterans Auditorium needs to continued for keeping this a wonderful auditorium. The Straub Dance Company (family) has kept and should keep this venue so many other people watching these young students dancing. This must kept Veterans Auditorium.
