The Indiana State Fairgrounds announced the Fairgrounds Coliseum will now be known as the Corteva Coliseum, in partnership with Indy-based Corteva Agriscience, a global leader in innovation and technology solutions.
The Coliseum has been a Hoosier staple for a wide range of events since its opening in 1939. The new name replaces the previous Indiana Farmers Coliseum.
“Ushering in this new era for our beloved Coliseum with our long-term partners at Corteva Agriscience is beyond exciting,” said Cindy Hoye, Indiana State Fair Commission executive director. “We are so grateful for their commitment to our state, our fairgrounds and our community. Together, we will continue to create memories and traditions for generations to come.”
Corteva is the only major U.S. based agricultural technology company, and the partnership with the Indiana State Fairgrounds may mean improvements and upgrades to the event space.
“Indianapolis is our home and our ties to the Hoosier state and the Indiana State Fairgrounds run deep,” said Chuck Magro, CEO of Corteva. “The Corteva Coliseum reflects an important commitment to our community and we’re grateful to be a part of such an iconic venue that means so much to our employees, friends and neighbors.”
