History
The arena was built in 1987, to be used at 1987 Summer Universiade and was then known as the Cibona Sports Center. In 1993 it was renamed after the late former NBA player and basketball Hall of Famer Dražen Petrović, a former Cibona star. Petrović died earlier that same year in a car accident, cutting his great career short.

Cardinal Franjo Kuharić organized the first Christmas in Cibona concert in 1989, and since then it has been held annually.
Artists that have performed at the hall include Michael Bolton, Boney M, James Brown, José Carreras, Joe Cocker, Bryan Ferry, Diana Krall, Muse, Nightwish, Pain, Pet Shop Boys, P!nk, Seal and Simple Minds, among others.
