ASM Global, the management group for Pinnacle Bank Arena, has named Tim Savona as the new general manager of the arena and Pinewood Bowl. Savona succeeds Tom Lorenz, who died on Oct. 1, 2022. Lorenz held the position from the arena’s opening in 2013 to his passing.
Savona, who is currently the general manager of the Tysons Event Center and Orpheum Theater in Sioux City, 
Iowa, will begin his new position on Feb. 13. “I am thrilled to be leading the team at Pinnacle Bank Arena and Pinewood Bowl Theater. This next-step opportunity in joining ASM Global will allow me to work closely with our clients at the City of Lincoln and University of Nebraska-Lincoln,” Savona said.
In Sioux City, Savona was an employee of OVG360, formerly Spectra, which took over booking, marketing, staffing, and food and beverage service at the Tyson Center, a 10,000-seat venue owned and run by the city since it opened in 2003.
The city of Lincoln owns Pinnacle Bank Arena, a 15,000-seat venue that is home to Husker basketball games, state high school volleyball and basketball tournaments and a dozen or more concerts each year.
