The first game in Stopher Gymnasium was in 1970.

After the 2013–2014 season, the gymnasium was renovated over several years.^[7] The men's basketball locker room and offices were overhauled and redesigned. The renovations featured a private entrance for the players and coaches with updated offices for the coaches, new meeting rooms and a lobby and lounge for the players.^[8] The lounge area includes televisions and audio equipment, leading into the locker room. The athletic training room was moved to another area of the building allowing it to quadruple in size.^[7] A visiting team locker room was also built in the gymnasium.^[9] As part of the renovation in 2015, a 27-foot (8.2 m)HD video scoreboard and scoreboards on each end of the court were added.^[9]

On January 27, 2018, the Colonels played their first game on Broussard Court.^[10] It is named after Nicholls Hall of Fame men's basketball coach Rickey Broussard.^[10] In addition to the new court, the gymnasium received new portable goals, LED scorers tables, premium courtside seating and new lighting in 2018.
