Our Success Stories

Denny Sanford PREMIER Center

12

ASM Global, which was created by the merger of SMG and AEG Facilities, has a 25+ year history of representing the City of Sioux Falls through the operation of a local Theater and Civic Center.
ASM Global (SMG at the time) was selected through a competitive process early on in the project to provide pre-development, pre-opening and facility management services. ASM Global worked throughout the pre-opening process to on-board the appropriate staff, create awareness for the project among user groups, and to ensure the project was embraced by the local citizens of Sioux Falls.
The result: The Denny Sanford PREMIER Center has been a tremendous success for the City, creating the revitalization and economic stimulus that was intended. For the third straight year, the ASM Global-managed Denny Sanford PREMIER Center has generated over $2 million in net operating income while hosting major concerts and sporting events that draw audiences from across the region to Sioux Falls.
