Butler played its first basketball game in the Fieldhouse on March 7, 1928, defeating Notre Dame 21-13, in overtime. Since the Fieldhouse was not entirely completed at that time, the building dedication was held off until December 21, 1928. The name of the facility was changed in 1966 from Butler Fieldhouse to Hinkle Fieldhouse in honor of Butler’s legendary coach and athletic director Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle, who built the University’s athletic tradition over nearly half a century. In addition to being the home of Butler basketball, the Fieldhouse has served as host to six U.S. presidents (Herbert Hoover, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton), four professional basketball teams, the U.S. Olympic basketball trials, the fi rst USSR-USA basketball game, all-star basketball games for the NBA and ABA and the East-West College All-Stars, a three-ring circus, and the popular movie “Hoosiers.” The building also housed Hinkle Fieldhouse is on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Many basketball legends, including John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, George the U. S. military as a barracks during World War II. McGinnis and Larry Bird, have played on the Hinkle hardwood. 6 When Hinkle Fieldhouse opened in 1928, the basketball fl oor ran east and west, which put more than half the seats at the ends of the court. The court was turned to its current confi guration in the early 1930’s. Hinkle Fieldhouse was the site of the Indiana High School state championship from 1928 to 1971, except during World War II.
