A Marion County, Ind. judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Evansville-based Old National Bank and California-based concert promoter Live Nation.
The Murat Temple Association, a Shriners group in Indianapolis, filed suit against Old National and Live Nation in March over naming rights to a concert venue owned by the Shriners.
The venue, formerly known as the Murat Centre, is owned by the Shriners group and leased by Live Nation. In March, the concert promoter announced that the theater was renamed Old National Centre as part of a three-year naming-rights deal. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
In its lawsuit, the Murat Temple Association said Live Nation’s lease did not allow the promoter to sell the building’s naming rights.
Earlier this month, Marion County Superior Court Judge John Hanley granted Old National and Live Nation’s motion to dismiss the case.
“Old National is pleased that the dispute between Live Nation and the Murat Temple Association Inc. has been resolved,” Old National spokeswoman Kathy Schoettlin said in a statement.
“Old National values the contributions that the Murat Temple Association Inc. has made to the Indianapolis community, and Old National intends to continue and strengthen this legacy.”
Bryce Bennett, an Indianapolis attorney who represented the Murat Temple Association in the case, did not return calls seeking comment.
