When fears of coronavirus outbreaks prevented an Ohio sports event from accommodating its typical crowd of 200,000 people, the stadium sent their surplus of event food to first responders and tornado victims in Nashville.

The Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC) had already ordered enough food to feed its usual amount of spectators ahead of the annual Arnold Sports Festival.

The multi-sports festival is particularly beloved because of its "Classic Arnold" bodybuilding competition named after its most famous participant: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

After the Ohio Department of Health prohibited general spectators from attending this week's festival, however, the GCCC found themselves with enough food to feed thousands of people—but no one to eat it.

Since the stadium knew that other local restaurants prepared for the festival would be donating their own surplus of food to community charities, the GCCC loaded up a refrigerated truck with more than a ton of sandwiches, mixed green salads, fresh fruit, yogurt, vegetables, brown rice, potato chips, and bottled water.

The truck then brought all the food to Ohio's neighbors in Nashville and used it to feed several thousand first responders and tornado-affected families.

"We're accustomed to accommodating ever-changing client needs at the GCCC," said GCCC General Manager John R. Page in a statement. "When the unique circumstances affecting the Arnold Sports Festival this year came to fruition, we were proud to be able to send excess food to assist Nashville residents impacted by true devastation while we focus our efforts here on supporting the Arnold Sports Festival in its revised format."
