NEW CASTLE, Ind. — By now, you’ve probably seen the pictures or at least heard about what took place at New Castle Fieldhouse this past weekend. Thousands of fans jammed in the world’s largest high school gym to watch high school basketball on Friday and Saturday night.
Some have speculated that Friday night was close to a sellout. Even Barstool Sports, a sports and pop culture blog, tweeted a video that said there were 10,000 fans in attendance and made a comparison to the movie Hoosiers. Well, we knew it wasn’t actually 10,000 because the New Castle Fieldhouse has a capacity of 9,325.
