In 2004 the Arena was used by the U.S. Men's and Women's Olympic teams.[4] On September 2, 2008, the University announced plans for UNF Varsity Village.[5] Upgrades will be on the existing locker rooms, athletics offices, scoreboard, and seating. Planned additions will include a video room, academic support area, and a hall of fame/recruiting lounge.

On March 8, 2015, the UNF Arena attendance record was set as 6,155 fans watched North Florida defeat USC Upstate in the 2015 Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament championship game.[6] In the first round of the 2016 National Invitation Tournament, 6,011 fans saw the Ospreys fall to Florida, 97–68.[7]
