The Northwest Arkansas Naturals announced Friday that the front office, ticket office and team store at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale would be closed until further notice.
The closures are in response to the coronavirus pandemic that has postponed the start of the Major League Baseball season and virtually all professional and college sports across the country.
"We encourage all Naturals fans and our great partners in baseball and in business to continue to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have over the coming days regarding the upcoming season," the team said in a news release Friday afternoon.
The organization encouraged fans to monitor the team's website at nwanaturals.com and other social media channels for up-to-date news regarding the team and the 2020 season, or call the Naturals office at (479) 927-4900 and leave a message.
