As the club progressed through the national leagues, the home venue was changed to comply with league regulations and accommodate a larger number of supporters. From the Palazzetto dello Sport Baslenga in Casalmaggiore, the club first moved to PalaFarina in Viadana and then to PalaRadi in Cremona. The first promotion happened in 2010 to Serie B1, one season later promotion to Serie A2 was achieved and in 2013 it reached the Serie A1.[1]
