KeyCorp agreed Friday morning to acquire First Niagara Financial Group for $4.1 billion
Now that KeyBank is slated to purchase FNFG, we will get a new area name/signage.
First Niagara signed a 15-year naming-rights agreement in 2011.
Interesting factoid regarding Key's last arena venture: Since 2010, KeyBank no longer owns the naming rights to KeyArena in Seattle, Washington, although the building continues to use the name.
KING 5's Chris Daniels reports the bank whose name sits atop the former home of the Sonics hasn't paid for that right in four years.
