The Mace Electronics Spectacular was also held there for several years.

Post-closureedit
After closing in 1983, the facility served as an operations plant and warehouse for the Menasha (cardboard) Box Corporation.
In 2011 the facility was purchased by an Erie company and is being used for warehouse space. Part of the building is also being used by Mercyhurst College's maintenance dept.
Paul Gamsby, University of Michigan hockey hall of fame member, was manager of the Field House for many years.
