There were talks about Canberra, Newcastle and all sorts of areas ... we thought we could build on the success of playing a couple of games in Canberra. The AIS Arena has been used for major indoor sports such as basketball and netball. Architectural features include a 1200 tonne suspended concrete panel roof supported by 12 steel masts and 36 mainstay cables. New Illawarra Hawks owners will investigate ways to maintain a relationship with Canberra despite the closure of the AIS Arena making it impracticable to shift a regular-season game to the capital.
The closure of the Arena, better known to basketball fans as "The Palace", means there isn't a suitable venue in the city for NBL matches.

Mr Loeliger admitted the league was open to the return of the Canberra Cannons but admitted there was a long way to go before having talks about reinstating the Cannons back into the NBL. "A venue of 1800 doesn't cut it for any professional sport in this country.
The ACT government is still waiting to hear from Sport Australia after requesting details of the "infrastructure work" required before the Arena can be reopened.
Sporting organisations and event promoters have been told existing bookings have been cancelled for 2020 and the venue won't accept any requests for 2021. Canberra hasn't had an NBL team since the Cannons went bust almost 20 years ago and men's basketball has been fleeting in the capital since.
The ACT government wants to know what work needs to be done and is reluctant to inject funds to a venue it doesn't own, but closing the AIS Arena leaves the city without a premier concert, sport and exhibition centre.

Sporting Schools Helping schools to increase children's participation in sport, and to connect them with community sporting opportunities.. I'm not sure what they're doing with the Arena, it was surprising to see they let it go for so long without upgrading."

The league’s chief Jeremy Loeliger was curious to see how strong Canberra’s appetite for men’s professional basketball was, with over 3,300 fans showing just how hungry the capital is.
New Illawarra Hawks owners will investigate ways to maintain a relationship with Canberra despite the closure of the AIS Arena making it impracticable to shift a regular-season game to the capital.
With respect to the latter sport, Giants Netball who compete in the National Netball League have played one home match since 2017. Is Verity Ln Market’s just another attempt to shoehorn Canberra into something it isn’t? The NBL boss said the league now wants to see more professional basketball at the “underutilised facility of AIS Arena”, and wants the Australia Day game to become a yearly fixture on Canberra’s sporting calendar. Kordahi wants to rebuild supporter in Wollongong, but the NBL is also keen for the franchise to explore other areas to grow the game. And is it just us? The venue is stuck in a funding vacuum, federal Sport Minister Richard Colbeck calling on the ACT government to invest money to improve the facility.
