Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Multi-purpose stadium in Broadmeadow, Australia.
Newcastle Entertainment Centre is a multi-purpose arena in Broadmeadow designed to host various events including sports, concerts, and performances with flexible seating arrangements. The venue can adjust its capacity based on event needs through movable interior configurations.
The centre opened in 1992 as the home arena for the Newcastle Falcons basketball team, which performed there for several years before relocating. Following this period, the venue evolved into a multipurpose facility serving diverse entertainment and sporting purposes.
This venue serves as a gathering place where people come together for concerts, sports matches, and community celebrations that shape local entertainment culture. It plays a central role in how residents experience live entertainment and group activities in the region.
The venue is located directly next to Broadmeadow Station with convenient public transport access and ample parking for visitors driving. Plan to arrive early to allow time for navigation and potential queues at the entrance.
The arena features specialized curtaining systems and movable interior walls that quickly transform the space from a large concert hall to an intimate performance venue. This flexibility allows the same building to host entirely different event types on consecutive days.
