Bendigo Stadium


Bendigo Stadium is an Australian sports and entertainment centre in Bendigo, Victoria. The stadium is home to the Bendigo Braves and Bendigo Spirit. It hosted basketball matches during the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The stadium's facilities include ten indoor sports courts, major exhibition and function areas, a licensed clubroom and associated administration facilities.
The stadium has the flexibility to be used for major sporting, cultural and entertainment events and has held such events as The Young Divas, Vanessa Amorosi, international basketball, snooker and volleyball.
The largest recorded attendance at the venue was on 3 March 2013 when Bendigo Spirit defeated the Townsville Fire 71–57 in the 2012-13 WNBL Grand Final. In May 2018, the venue was re-opened after a $23 million redevelopment was completed which upgraded the facilities and increased the venue's capacity.
The stadium hosted its first netball match on 25 May 2019, when the Melbourne-based Collingwood Magpies played the West Coast Fever in the Suncorp Super Netball league.
The facility co-hosted the 2003 FIBA Oceania Championship where the Australian national basketball team won the gold medal.
