If your team is playing in this... go. It's an unreal gym. Never been in anything like it.

 

If you have a little extra time, New Castle is not far from the place they used as Hickory's home gym in Hoosiers.

 

Saw both on a trip up there a couple years ago; had a great time.

Only about 25 minutes apart, I believe. Would be an awesome experience.
