Detail InformationEdit

Challenge Stadium is a sports complex in the suburb of Mount Claremont, west of Perth, Western Australia, Australia. It was opened in 1986 and is home to the Western Australian Institute of Sport. The main indoor arena holds 4,500 people (over 5000 with standing room). Previously known as the Claremont Superdrome, the stadium received its current name through a naming-rights sponsorship with the WA-based Challenge Bank (since acquired by Westpac and trading as such). Although the sponsorship with Challenge Bank no longer exists, the name has been retained to the present day.
Challenge Stadium is the home to five time National Basketball League champions the Perth Wildcats. The Wildcats previously used the venue when it was the Claremont Superdrome as their home court from 1987 until moving to the larger Perth Entertainment Centre in 1990. They moved back to the stadium from the 2002-03 NBL season after the Entertainment Centre closed and have remained there ever since. The Wildcats have played in three NBL Grand Final series at Challenge Stadium in 1987, 2002-03 and 2009-10 with the only championship coming in 2009-10. During Wildcats games the venue is referred to as “The Jungle”.
Three time World boxing champion Danny Green also calls Challenge Stadium home. Since 2008 the stadium has also been the home court for the West Coast Fever netball team who play in the ANZ Championship. The complex features an Olympic-standard aquatic centre, a gym, an adventure training course, two arenas, and several basketball courts, as well as cafés, childcare centres, a sports store, accommodations, and a museum. Regular exhibitions and Expos are hosted throughout the year as well as many national and international sporting events such as the FINA Swimming Championships. In April/May 2011 Cirque Du Soleil did a 2 week run of its 1992 production Saltimbanco at Challenge Stadium .
