SMG, once known as Spectacor Management Group, was a US-based international company specializing in the operation of publicly owned venues, headquartered in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Established in 1977 with the management contract for the Louisiana Superdome, it grew to become one of the largest venue management organizations globally.
The company functioned as a joint venture equally held by The Hyatt Hotel Company and Aramark Corporation. In 2007, American Capital purchased SMG for $631 million. Following American Capital's acquisition by Ares Management in January 2017, Ares divested SMG to Onex Corporation within the same year. In October 2019, SMG merged with AEG Facilities, resulting in the creation of ASM Global.
