CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Everyone who enters a city building, including the American Bank Center, will still be required to wear a facemask, City Manager Peter Zanoni said. 

“Wearing a mask when entering City facilities is one of many measures that will remain in place as a safeguard to protect our employees who are serving our community," Zanoni said.

City officials said the number one priority is the health and well-being of everyone who enters city buildings.

"This continued focus on safety measures, including requiring masks, will play a key role in bringing live entertainment, conventions, and other large gathering events back to the American Bank Center and Watergarden Park."
