Hinkle Fieldhouse is the historic home of Butler Bulldogs basketball in Indianapolis, Indiana. One of the oldest active arenas in college basketball, it has hosted Butler since 1928 and is a National Historic Landmark whose brick exterior and vaulted wooden-truss roof are instantly recognizable. Game nights carry a reverence for the building's age and cinematic history that few college arenas can match.
Hinkle was the site of Milan High School's 1954 Indiana state championship, the real-life underdog run that inspired the movie 'Hoosiers,' and the fieldhouse was the largest basketball arena in the United States for roughly two decades after opening. It has hosted NCAA Tournament games, Indiana high school championships, and Butler's own historic Final Four runs in 2010 and 2011, cementing its place as one of the sport's most storied cathedrals.
