I grew up playing here and remembered it as being huge. I have gotten older and bigger and it doesn't seem quite as large now but it sure brought back some great memories.

An absolutely great experience to watch basketball in this venue!!!! Not a bad seat in the house. Lots of history and atmosphere. A true mecca to Indiana's favorite sport.

Home of the Butler Bulldogs and former state high school basketball championship. After the recent upgrades it is still the crown jewel of Indiana basketball. A stroll down memory lane.

Many years since I've been to Hinkle. It was for a basketball game during state tournament time! Neat fieldhouse!

What a great tradition still functioning old field house. Went for a Butler regular season game. Even the top rows have a pretty good view.

This is a basketball junkies must see. Hoosiers comes to life here--and the Butler team has only added to the legend.

To watch a game of basketball in the confines of Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University should be on the bucket list of every serious fan. And the successfull Butler Bulldogs makes it double. There is really no better place to watch the game much less play the game.

I purchased tickets to the Gonzaga at Butler game as a present for my husband, who is a huge NCAA basketball fan, and who can recite every line from the movie "Hoosiers" (which was partially filmed at Hinkle Fieldhouse). Because of its relatively small size, there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house, as far as the... More

I attended the recent BUTLER BULLDOGS vs Gonzaga game at the Home of the Bulldogs, Hinkle Fieldhouse. The setting was amazing and the outcome much like the movie, HOOSIERS. The venue is 85 years old without a single "amenity" to speak of. Yet, you can see the floor from any seat in the building. The feel is what true basketball... More
