ASM GLOBAL-MANAGED DENNY SANFORD PREMIER CENTER RECORDS BEST YEAR IN PROPERTY HISTORY
(SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – January 11, 2024) With several sold-out concerts, multiple shows grossing over $1 million, capacity crowds, and nearly a dozen different show promoters, Denny Sanford PREMIER Center has posted its best financial year in property history.
Managed by ASM Global, the world’s leading producer of entertainment experiences, Denny Sanford PREMIER Center’s fiscal year 2023 featured multiple sold-out shows, including Jelly Roll, MercyMe with Tobymac and Zach Williams, Cody Johnson, Journey, Zach Bryan and more. The venue welcomed over 380,000 guests through its doors for some of the best performances in South Dakota last year.
Marking its second record-breaking fiscal year in a row, the property will end 2023 with the highest revenue and profitability in its history, surpassing 2022 margins and budget forecasts.
In addition to its heightened economic impact on Sioux Falls, the venue had its highest in-kind donations in venue history with more than $20,000 worth of tickets donated throughout the year to nearly 70 different nonprofit organizations.
Denny Sanford PREMIER Center was also one of six venues nationwide nominated for the 2023 ACM “Arena of the Year” title earlier this year.
“The team here has worked tirelessly to make this complex the leader in the region that it is today,” said Mike Krewson, general manager for the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center complex. “We continue to raise the bar year after year, increasing our event offerings and elevating the guest experience, whether the caliber of talent or more diverse food and beverage choices. Clearly our efforts have paid off, as we are seeing an increase in revenue, attendance and support from our partners and the community. We look forward to continuing this upward path and are excited to see more successes in the years to come.”
Denny Sanford PREMIER Center will open 2024 with a robust lineup of events, including various home hockey games for the Sioux Falls Stampede and D1 hockey through Augustana University’s Men’s team, as well as two nights of the Toughest Monster Truck Tour performances, Disturbed’s “Take Back Your Life Tour,” Dr. Jordan Peterson, Summit League Basketball Championships, and the Regional NCAA D1 Men’s Hockey Finals and Championship.
