"The city of Kent dumped tech company Amiga as naming-rights sponsor for the city's planned hockey arena after the company failed to deliver a promised down payment Monday.

Amiga was supposed to pay $2.5 million by 5 p.m. to secure the $10 million, 20-year naming-rights deal for what would have been called The Amiga Center at Kent.

But in recent weeks, the city and company had sparred over details — such as control of advertising in the new arena — and Amiga had offered less money than initially promised, Kent officials said.

By Monday evening, the deal was off, and city officials said they would look for a new sponsor."
