Review: Butler Bulldogs - Old Dog House Learns New Tricks


Game 1 - Maine Black Bears at Butler Bulldogs, Saturday, November 15, 2014
Game 2 - Loyola (MD) Greyhounds at Butler Bulldogs, Saturday November 22, 2014
Game 3 - Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks at Butler Bulldogs, Monday, December 22, 2014
The Venue - Hinkle Fieldhouse, 510 W 49th St, Indianapolis, IN 46208
The Seat - Game 1 - Section 305, Row 17, Seat 35 ($21.25 total cost from Ticketmaster)
Game 2&3 - Section 211, Row 3, Seat 11 ($19.50 each as part of 4-game mini-plan)

The first college basketball game in Hinkle Fieldhouse history was played on March 7, 1928. When it was constructed, it was the largest basketball arena in the United States. In 1987, Hinkle Fieldhouse was designated as a National Historic Landmark. Through 86 years and thousands of Bulldogs games, the Dawg House has gone through a few facelifts, including a major renovation during the past off-season.  To paraphrase Robert Palmer, Hinkle Fieldhouse used to look good, but now it is simply irresistible.
