==Other attractions== [[File:Indiana Basketball HOF CIMG0344.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame building.]] * Nine of the eleven [[largest high school gyms in the United States]] are in Indiana. The largest of these is the [[New Castle Fieldhouse]] at New Castle High School. The fieldhouse has a capacity of 9,325. The fieldhouse is notable for a 1961 State Sectional Game between New Castle and [[Lewisville, Indiana|Lewisville]] (now part of [[South Henry School Corporation]]) in which the fans attending the game were snowed in. The next morning food was delivered to the Fieldhouse by a local bakery and a church service was piped into the gym. The gym has also played host to the 2006 Indiana Class 3A Basketball Champs and the 2007 Class 4A Volleyball Champions.<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/sports/preps/basketball/2004-02-25-ten-great-hoops-newcastle_x.htm News article], paragraph three, from [https://www.usatoday.com/ USA Today], February 25, 2004.</ref> * [[Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame]] is located near [[New Castle High School (Indiana)|New Castle High School]]. * Next to New Castle High School is a [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] mound dated to approximately 2000 [[Before Present|BP]].
