The location for Buttigieg’s announcement was changed Friday to Studebaker Building 84. Initially, as NewsCenter 16 first reported Monday, the event was scheduled to take place outdoors. The

that were scheduled in order to accommodate the outdoor event are no longer in effect, but traffic could still be congested as locals and visitors alike descend on downtown South Bend in anticipation of the announcement.

According to Chris Meagher, Buttigieg’s National Press Secretary, the change of venue was made due to the threat of inclement weather.

Gates at Studebaker Building 84 opened at noon. An official time for Buttigieg's remarks have not been released, but NewsCenter 16 will begin coverage live from the venue around 2 p.m. Again, you can watch that coverage on WNDU-TV or online at
