Mt Claremont - Challenge Stadium The main entrance to the Challenge Stadium. The Stadium was opened as far back as 1986. It has a fine swimming complex and also a sports arena which is home to the Perth Wildcats (basketball) and West Coast Fever (netball). Originally called the Perth Superdrome, the "Challenge" comes from the now defunct Challenge Bank, a former sponsor which had naming rights. January 2011 |

Mt Claremont - Challenge Stadium The Challenge Stadium is also home to the West Australian Institute of Sport. This building is to the right of the Stadium main entrance.
