The stadium hosted basketball and other sports during the Commonwealth Games, and has also been the home for track-cycling championships and, recently, an ice-hockey series between Canada and the USA. It was renamed from Vodafone arena to Hisense Arena in 2008.
The first tennis match at the venue was won by Monica Seles in less than 10 minutes when her opponent retired.
