Assembly Hall has been the home to Indiana University basketball since 1971 and has hosted more than 12 million fans. Most of its 17,222 seats are on either side of the court, creating one of the greatest home-court advantages in college basketball.
The opening of the venue coincided with the debut of head coach Bobby Knight, who would lead the Hoosiers to three NCAA championships (1976, 1981, and 1987) during his 29-year seasons in Bloomington, perhaps forever linking the two iconic institutions.
Perhaps one of the most architecturally unique, Assembly Hall features steep seating that focuses fan energy directly onto the court. The Hoosier faithful add to the noise, ensuring that Indiana opponents experience both psychological and physical discomfort said Nick Cottongim via the The Fan 93.5/107.5
