[2] As a sports venue, the Dome was the home of the Hopman Cup and occasionally hosted Perth Wildcats' National Basketball League games.

At one time the dome was also considered as a possible home venue for the A-League's Perth Glory while renovations were taking place at their usual home, Perth Oval, though the Glory eventually decided to stay at the Oval rather than play inside the Dome on an artificial surface.

By October 2010, firm plans for Crown's major new hotel development and for a state-controlled Perth Stadium on nearby land ensured that the dome would be removed.
