The Big West Conference announced on June 24, 2021, that the men's and women's basketball championships would be held at The Dollar Loan Center starting in 2022 – the tournament was the first ticketed event held at the arena.[13]
On April 1, 2024, DLC let the naming rights expire, which was purchased by the owners of Lee's Discount Liquor to be named as Lee's Family Forum, in honor of the founders, Hae Un Lee and Kenny Lee.[14]
