Road trip- hinkle field house

Friday night game jan5. Thinking of heading out there with my son. Am I getting caught up in the “history” of the arena? Anyone else been there?

Went there last year and am going back this year. I live in Northern Indiana near Notre Dame. Pretty easy drive from there.

Was actually pretty impressed with it last year. Not really a bad seat in the house.

If you haven't bought tickets yet, call the Butler Ticket office, DM for number. Their fees are a lot less expensive than Ticketmaster. I got 3 tickets for $50/ticket and each ticket was like $4 in fees.

They really pushed their 5 ticket package this year so individual game tickets were very few left. The upper level (300?) is bench seating and anything below is seatbacks.

Hinkle is my next stop. Went to Phog this year. If you’re a big college hoops fan these are must visit places

I know the rims are 10 feet off the ground.

I visited a few summers ago while in Indy. Very cool building, I found an unlocked door and was able to walk onto the court.

Indy itself is not an amazing city but I found I liked it more than other similarly-sized cities in that area

They shot Hoosiers there.

I've only been to Indy for the 500.

A guy who was a sophomore on the "Hoosiers" team lives in my community and said the measuring was true but there was a lot of artistic license with things like the drunken assistant coach (not true). Still a true story and a great movie.

They shot Hoosiers there.

More importantly, they played the original game there.
