It also hosted the first Arena Football League test game in 1986 between the Chicago Politicians and the Rockford Metros.
The facility hosted the 1984 and 1986 Mid-American Conference men's basketball tournaments as well as numerous IHSA basketball sectional and super-sectional tournaments. In addition to athletic events, it hosts concerts, conventions, and local high school graduations.
