Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall is the home of Indiana Hoosiers basketball in Bloomington, Indiana. Its steep, towering sideline grandstands give it one of the most distinctive and intimidating looks in college basketball, with fans stacked almost directly over the court. Game nights carry the weight of one of the sport's deepest basketball traditions in the state that calls itself basketball's birthplace.
Opened in 1971, Assembly Hall was the home court for Bob Knight's Hoosiers, including the undefeated 1976 national championship team, the last men's team to finish a season perfect. It has hosted decades of Big Ten title runs and NCAA Tournament games, and a 2016 renovation added a donor-funded name change to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall alongside upgraded concourses and premium seating. It remains a cathedral of Indiana basketball tradition and one of the sport's iconic home courts.
