It was also the home of the Mississippi Hound Dogs of the Ultimate Indoor Football League.

The $16 million, 32,000 sq ft (3,000 m2) facility was built in 1993, and is one of the more modern arenas serving a small market in the mid-south.

One Memphis Pharaohs (Arena Football League) home game was held there in 1996.

On November 14, 2008, the arena hosted the Mississippi State Bulldogs club hockey team in a game against the Loyola University New Orleans club in the arena's first venture into ice hockey since the T-Rex left in 2003.
