This Indiana Town Has A Historic Gymnasium That Basketball Fans Can Still Visit Today

Management attributed the decision to close to new owner RCA Properties, a local developer with a portfolio of mostly residential projects.

The purchase means that almost 20 years after the bigger and better Lucas Oil Stadium arose from the rubble of the original Hoosier
