America's 25 Biggest Basketball Stadiums From Coast to Coast
22. Hinkle Fieldhouse: The Soul of Hoosier Basketball
Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University is one of the most storied arenas in the country. Opened in 1928, it’s a National Historic Landmark that feels like stepping into a living museum of basketball. Wooden bleachers, arched steel trusses, and a massive barrel-vault ceiling create a timeless atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and electric. Famously the site of the 1954 Indiana high school state championship game that inspired Hoosiers, Hinkle is more than a college venue—it’s a shrine to the sport’s roots. When the Bulldogs take the floor, history echoes in every squeak of the court.
