BLOOMINGTON — A press conference at Grossinger Motors Arena will not take place as regularly scheduled. The press conference was to be held on Wednesday regarding the announcement of a naming rights opportunity.

An email from the city’s Arts & Entertainment Department would confirm this intent. This comes as severe weather is set to impact Central Illinois later today.

“Due to weather conditions, the City of Bloomington and the Bloomington Bison have made the decision to postpone today’s press conference at Grossinger Motors Arena,” stated Gina Volk, marketing manager for the Arts & Entertainment Department, in the email.

The postponement was in the best interests of both organizations to ensure the safety of all who would have been present.

A postponement date is yet to be determined, but the announcement will come once there is confirmation.

“Thank you for your understanding and flexibility,” Volk adds. “We look forward to sharing this exciting announcement with you soon.”
