The Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse, also known as the New Fieldhouse, is an indoor track and field complex on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. From 1960 to 1971 it also served as the home of the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team.
History The Fieldhouse was originally planned to be a new modern basketball arena to replace the Old IU Fieldhouse. However, the allocated money for the project was used to build a new football stadium. As a result, the plans were revised to be for a temporary, interim basketball facility.
The Fieldhouse cost $1.7 million to build. The basketball team spent eleven years there before moving to Assembly Hall in 1971. The last game was played on March 13, 1971, where the Hoosiers lost 103–87 to Illinois.
In the summer of 1972, a Tartan track surface was installed for $280,000. In 1997, the fieldhouse was renamed for Harry Gladstein, a 1931 graduate and former student manager for the track team. His family's $1 million donation allowed for a Mondo Super-X surface to be installed in the fieldhouse. In 2006, a Mondo-surface banked track was installed in the fieldhouse. This track had previously been installed in the RCA Dome and used for the inaugural 1987 IAAF Indoor World Championships and the NCAA Division I and II indoor track championships held annually through 1999.
