Hinkle Fieldhouse postcard

Description:	Linen postcard of Butler Fieldhouse, which opened in 1928. At the time, it was the largest basketball arena in the United States and could seat 15,000 spectators. The first Butler basketball game played inside the Fieldhouse was on March 7, 1928, when the Bulldogs defeated Notre Dame 21-13 in overtime, even though the buildings construction was not yet complete. The building was officially dedicated on December 21, 1928. In 1965, the Butler University Board of Trustees passed a resolution to change the name of Butler Fieldhouse to Hinkle Fieldhouse, in honor of Butlers athletic director, football, basketball, and baseball coach, Paul D. Tony Hinkle. In December 1985, the feature film Hoosiers was filmed inside the Fieldhouse.
