Money Tree Classic is a GO!
Tuesday, June 30, 2020


There has been some concern about the The Money Tree Classic being held this Friday with the Governor’s extension of executive orders announced on Monday, June 29. The show can absolutely be held in accordance with the current guidelines. Calsonic Arena has 4,600 seats and can easily accommodate social distancing protocol. Along with this, all doors in the arena will be opened. Masks will be available in the entry office as well as hand sanitizer available around the facility. Restrooms and other common areas will be cleaned numerous times throughout the event. Both the usual warm up area in Calsonic as well as the Champions Arena can be used as a warm up area to comply with social distancing guidelines. We ask that you take precautions and follow the guidelines as well when choosing your seat in the arena. We are looking forward to a great show!
