Largest High School Basketball Gym in the World

It's FAU Homecoming week, but this is in the Open Forum for Non-FAU Sports talk (in case anyone was wondering).

As I get ready to celebrate the Homecoming of my alma mater (FAU), I found this video online of my high school basketball gym.  It's in New Castle, IN.

I credit being raised in this environment for developing some of my opinions on building a FAU basketball program and having better facilities.

As info, this is in a tiny town of 18,000 people, and the gym seats 9000+, and sells out. (yes, I know, there is nothing else to do in Indiana).  The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame is also housed on the grounds of my high school.  I am feeling nostalgic this week so thought I would share. Go Trojans.

I'm impressed you have heard of anything about my HS.

I had forgotten that we had a great band until you jogged my memory. Our band won the state title when I was in HS and then a couple of years later, they played in the Macy parade.
