Super Bowl XLVI is coming to Indianapolis and the USPS is officially ready for the big game. Having worked closely with the NFL planning committee as well as local officials, the US Postal Service is pleased to announce that disruptions to postal service as a result of the Super Bowl should be minimal.
The Postal Service will make changes to its downtown Indianapolis operations to aid in security and accommodate the planned activities associated with this year’s game. The changes are necessary as the Indianapolis Main Post Office, 125 W. South St., and Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) are located alongside Lucas Oil Stadium, the site of this year’s game.
Customers can expect changes to last from Jan. 28 through Feb. 6 and may have an effect on delivery through Feb. 8.
Retail operations at the Main Post Office will be suspended from Jan. 28 through Feb. 6. Alternative retail services are available at:
• Circle City Station

Collection boxes on Capitol Avenue, including those in the lobby of the Main Post Office, and Illinois Street (in the immediate vicinity of the stadium) will be removed. Collection boxes in the Convention Center will be sealed.

As an additional security measure, on Feb. 5, the Indianapolis P&DC, which is an around-the-clock operation, will close for a 24-hour period.
