There is no contract yet for naming rights to the Fishers Events Center, but the plaza area just outside the building has a contract for naming rights, and it is a familiar local moniker.

It is to be known as the Forum Credit Union Plaza at Fishers District, a green space.  Deputy Mayor Elliott Hultgren told the Town Hall Building Corporation Monday that this area is envisioned to be a well-manicured plaza, adjacent to the Events Center.  Hultgren said the rights will cost Forum just over $109,000.  The new Chicken N Pickle restaurant coming to the area will be located just west of the Plaza.

As to the naming rights for the Events Center itself, Hultgren said the Indy Fuel commissioned an independent study asserting the naming rights were worth more than $1.1 million annually.  Hultgren described that number as “extreme, extraordinary.” According to Hultgren, a naming rights fee in the neighborhood of $700,000 annually would be “great for us.”

The Town Hall Building Corporation approved the naming rights agreement Monday, and also voted unanimously to allow ASM Global, the manager of the Events Center, to enter into a contract with Andy Frain Services to provide security for the Center.

The Town Hall Building Corporation deals with financing and leasing of buildings and other capital improvements in the City of Fishers, Indiana.
