Legends has closed its $2.325 billion acquisition of ASM Global, a deal first reported over a year ago that was then frozen by a U.S. Department of Justice anti-competition review. The deal was allowed to proceed after Legends agreed to pay a $3.5 million fine for violating antitrust regulations during the acquisition process. The two companies’ combination will create a client roster including Allegiant Stadium, Caesars Superdome, and the Target Center from the ASM Global side, and the L.A.
