Hoosier Hysteria: Indiana High School basketball history in one spot

I actually just drove past the Gym in Knightstown that was used as the "Hickory Huskers" home gym in Hoosiers, 15 minures ago. My aunt and uncle live about 500 yards away from it. There is also a large mural on the main street through town of the characters from the movie.

Just a few miles away in New Castle is the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and next to it the country's largest high school gym.

I agree the New Castle gym is one of the largest in the country, but it is not the largest.

It was for over 50 years, I guess something could have passed it. Which one is bigger?

I stand to be corrected. I thought I had read the largest building was in Arizona, but I can't locate the source to back that up. I was at the New Castle gym 3 or 4 yrs. ago, still a nice place.

It's pretty cool. It's open pretty much year-round for pick-up games.
