Evansville, IN – In response to the concerns of COVID-19 across the nation, the State of Indiana, Vanderburgh County and the City of Evansville announced several precautionary steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our region.  Among the actions immediately initiated is a plan to mitigate exposure at large events and gathering places:

• The City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County issued a State of Emergency beginning Friday, March 16, 2020, at 5 PM and expiring Monday, April 6, 2020, at 11:59 PM.  Under that mandate, the Old National Events Plaza will be closed to the public.  During that time, in addition to event cancellations and postponements, Old National Events Plaza staff will be unable to receive customers at our box office, and many personnel will be working remotely.  Patrons looking to inquire about or purchase tickets to a future event, or those seeking a refund to a cancelled event, should call 812-437-8200 or e-mail info@oldnationaleventsplaza.com.

The Old National Events Plaza is following the guidelines of local and state governments for all of our scheduled events.  We are reaching out first to our clients with events booked over the next eight weeks, listening to their comments and working with them on possible options.  Events scheduled past May 10, 2020, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with the event organizers.  We will monitor this rapidly developing situation and will advise with more detailed event information as it becomes available.

The health and safety of our guests and employees is our top priority.  We will continue to be guided by the prevention and best practices recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), in conjunction with our local public health officials.

Furthermore, Old National Events Plaza will continue to follow the general cleaning and precautionary guidelines of the CDC and other public health organizations.  Our local staff is being supported by ASM Global corporate resources to ensure that we implement operational best practices throughout our network of facilities.

Finally, we want to assure our customers and colleagues that our staff remains on duty and ready to assist during this difficult time, whether we are working onsite or remotely.  We appreciate the support we’ve received thus far from the community, our partners and leadership, and we ask for your continued patience and understanding as we work through adapting our business to fit these complex and unprecedented conditions.
