It was home to the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons men's basketball. It also hosted the Carolina Cougars of the American Basketball Association during some but not all of the team's tenure in North Carolina from 1969 through 1974. It also hosted the Winston-Salem Polar Twins when they played in the Southern Hockey League and the Carolina/Winston-Salem Thunderbirds of the Atlantic Coast Hockey League.
