In consultation with Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, the Vanderburgh County Health Department the local health care community, and Venuworks, the seating capacity at the Ford Center for the upcoming University of Evansville 2020-21 men’s basketball season has been further restricted.
The Ford Center attendee capacity shall abide by Governor Holcomb’s current state-wide order of limiting large gatherings to 500 attendees or less without written exception from the local health department. In compliance with current CDC standards, the previously developed and approved “pod seating†social distancing plan shall be instituted to all attendees.
This decision was largely based on the rise in COVID-19 cases in Southwest Indiana, the local positivity rate of COVID-19 cases, the increasing census rate at Vanderburgh County hospitals and the overall health and well-being of the Evansville community.
Ford Center attendees shall be comprised of a limited number of UE students, home and visiting team families and guests as determined by the NCAA and the Missouri Valley Conference, designated game day personnel, current Aces Assist Members, and other contractually obligated partners. No tickets will be available for sale at this time. We are committed to further evaluating seating capacity with our community partners should circumstance permit reconsideration.
Season ticket holders will receive a letter in the mail over the next few days detailing options available for their paid 2020-21 season ticket amount.
Please direct any questions to the University of Evansville ticket office at 812-488-2237.
