The stadium is named after local Goldfields basketball stalwart, Niels Hansen. He became the KBBA's fifth life member in 1980.[2]
The stadium was built in 1979 and was renovated in the late 1990s.[3] In 2018, plans were put in place for an expansion of the stadium.[4] In 2022, a $13 million stadium redevelopment was set in motion for two new courts to be added to the existing three at the facility.[5][6] In July 2024, the Goldfields Giants played their final home game on the traditional main court before switching to a brand-new show court in 2025.[2]
On 23 February 2004, the stadium played host to the Perth Wildcats in an official National Basketball League regular season game against the Hunter Pirates.[7][8][9]
The stadium also hosted an official Women's National Basketball League regular season game featuring the Perth Lynx in 2009.[10]
