The Hunter Pirates basketball team previously played home games at the Entertainment Centre before being relocated to Singapore.
The club did have plans in the next few years to move from the Entertainment Centre to a new stadium to be built at the Stockland Supercentre out at Glendale, a suburb of Newcastle but this never eventuated.
