The first basketball game in the arena was a preseason NBA basketball game between the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks, with Pete Maravich scoring 42 points to lead the Hawks to a 122–120 win.

The main court at the arena has been replaced four times, most recently in 2018.

Chairback seats were installed in 1989 on the home side and are sold only to season-ticket holders.

In 2018, as part of North Alabama's transition to NCAA Division I, Flowers Hall underwent a $2 million renovation.

The renovation included replacing all bleachers, a brand new court, two new video boards, two new scorers' tables, and a new VIP area on the west end of the court.
