It opened on January 8, 1965 when the Central Oklahoma men’s basketball team defeated intrastate rival Northeastern State University 64-52. The 3,000-seat facility was renamed from Hamilton Field House in 1993 in honor of longtime coach and athletic director Dale E. Hamilton, the driving force in the building’s planning and construction. It was previously known as Broncho Field House. Hamilton Field House is also the home facility for the volleyball and wrestling teams. Numerous other events, including the university’s graduation ceremonies, are held in the building.

UCO’s men's basketball team has a 330-159 (.675) home-record in the past 40 and one-half years, including a 158-32 (.832) mark over the past 15 seasons.

The facility underwent extensive renovation before the 2001-02 season, with new chairback seats installed around the floor level.
