The convocation center is unique among Illinois university athletic projects, as Chicago State University itself did not need to raise any money for the project; the money was allocated from the State of Illinois Treasury by then Senate President Emil Jones.^{[citation needed]}

The venue hosted the 2012 and 2013 Great West Conference men's basketball tournament.
