Perth Arena
The Perth Arena hosted its first National Basketball League game on 16 November 2012 when the Perth Wildcats played (and lost to) the Adelaide 36ers in front of a crowd of 11,562. The attendance was the largest recorded in Western Australia for an indoor event, breaking the previous record of 8,501 set at the Burswood Dome in 2004. The arena has since hosted larger crowds, with the current record being 13,611 set during the Wildcats 95-84 loss to the Adelaide 36ers in a top of the table clash on 14 January 2017 during Round 15 of the 2016–17 NBL season.
