Brisbane Arena, Multi-purpose sports stadium in Brisbane, Australia.
Brisbane Arena is a multi-purpose stadium in Brisbane designed mainly for basketball and netball events. Its flexible seating arrangements allow the space to be reconfigured quickly for different sports and entertainment needs.
In July 2015 the Queensland Government announced plans for the state's first dedicated netball home, built under the construction name Brisbane Arena. Hansen Yuncken was appointed contractor in February 2017, and the centre opened on 24 February 2019 at a final cost of $44 million. Nissan acquired the naming rights in October 2019, renaming it Nissan Arena.
The arena's name comes from its commercial naming-rights deal: in October 2019 Nissan, the Japanese car manufacturer, secured the rights and the Queensland State Netball Centre became Nissan Arena. The Brisbane Bullets, who played home games here from 2019, nicknamed the venue The Armoury. It is the administrative headquarters of Netball Queensland.
The centre sits in the southern Brisbane suburb of Nathan, not the city centre, so allow travel time from downtown. It has parking facilities and eight indoor hard courts alongside the 5,000-seat show court. Check which court or arena hosts your event, since community training and elite matches run in different parts of the building.
The Brisbane Bullets, who played home games here from 2019, nicknamed the arena "The Armoury". It also hosted a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition in 2019 and the basketball and closing ceremony of the 2019 INAS Global Games.
