Nashville Predators Sue Sommet Group Over Naming Rights
↵↵Nashville Hockey Club Limited Partnership today announced that it has terminated its naming rights agreement with Sommet Group of Tennessee f/k/a Sommet Group, LLC (“Sommet”), and has filed suit in the Chancery Court for Davidson County, Tennessee, against Sommet stemming from Sommet’s failure to fulfil its naming rights payment obligations under that agreement. This is the last year of a three year naming rights agreement that the two companies entered into in 2007.
↵↵Sommet Group has apparently not made payments as part of the agreement for several months now, and the Predators are cutting ties with the company and will be seeking a new name for their arena. For now, it will still be known as Sommet Center, until the Metro Sports Authority in Nashville can approve a change on December 18th. Dirk Hoag proposes a number of new sponsors, from among the local business presence in Nashville...
↵Jack Daniels Arena, anyone?
