Since opening in 2008 it has been the site of numerous concerts and events, including ZZ Top, Stone Temple Pilots, Jason Mraz, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Chris Tomlin. In December 2008, it became the new home of the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League. (Previously, the team played at the Expo Square Pavilion.〔Glen Hibdon, "(66ers likely moving to Bixby arena )", ''Tulsa World'', February 10, 2008.〕) After the 2008-2009 season, however, the team announced it would seek another venue for the next season, and it filed a lawsuit against the owner of the arena.〔Mike Strain, ("66ers' owners sue Bixby arena's owners" ), ''Tulsa World'', May 31, 2009.〕
In late 2009, ownership and management of the arena (and its surrounding Regal Plaza retail and office center) was transferred to Tulsa-based SpiritBank, which had lent about $28 million to the original developers.〔Robert Evatt, ("Bankable venue: SpiritBank takes over ownership of event center, plaza in Bixby" ), ''Tulsa World'', December 2, 2009.〕 The bank stated its intention to keep the facility operational while seeking a buyer.〔Robert Evatt, ("Complex owner SpiritBank gets tax rebate" ), ''Tulsa World'', December 23, 2009.〕 In September 2010 the facility was sold to an investment group,〔Robert Evatt, ("SpiritBank Event Center gets new owner" ), ''Tulsa World'', September 22, 2010.〕 but the bank bought it back in June 2011.〔Robert Evatt, ("SpiritBank reacquires namesake events center" ), ''Tulsa World'', June 18, 2011.〕 In May 2012 the 66ers announced that they would return to the SpiritBank Center for the 2012-2013 season.〔("Tulsa 66ers Returning To Bixby's SpiritBank Event Center" ), KOTV-DT, May 14, 2012.〕
In June 2014, SpiritBank announced that it would no longer seek bookings for the main arena, and would no longer lease the space. Smaller events are still being scheduled in the ballrooms, and the bank is still trying to sell the facility.〔Robert Evatt, ("Big events no longer scheduled at SpiritBank Event Center in Bixby" ), ''Tulsa World'', June 9, 2014.〕
