Hobart City Centre in Tasmania boasts a range of arenas and stadiums catering to sports and entertainment enthusiasts. Notable venues include the Derwent Entertainment Centre (DEC), also known as the MyState Bank Arena since 2021. As Tasmania's largest indoor arena, DEC is the primary venue in Hobart for large indoor functions and events. It is conveniently accessible by car via Loyd Road from the Brooker Highway and offers over 1,000 on-site parking spaces. Special Metro Tasmania buses are also available for key NBL games, departing from the Glenorchy Interchange and the Hobart City Interchange.
Another prominent venue in Hobart is Blundstone Arena, which was established in 1914. This arena serves as a first-class cricket venue with a ground capacity of 19,500. Blundstone Arena is the home ground for various teams including the Tasmanian Tigers cricket team, the Hobart Hurricanes Big Bash League team, and the North Melbourne Kangaroos AFL team. Known for its pitch with early movement and afternoon sea-breezes off the Derwent River, the stadium underwent a $34 million redevelopment in 2015 to further enhance its facilities.
