The Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse is an on-campus indoor track and field complex on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. It was opened as a fieldhouse in 1960 along with Memorial Stadium as part of the school's new athletic plant, and for its first eleven years hosted the school's basketball team before the construction of Assembly Hall. It was renamed when it was remodeled as a permanent track structure in 1972 for Harry C. Gladstein, a former track & field manager whose son would later be on the team himself. Prior to the Fieldhouse, the basketball team spent thirty three years at the Old IU Fieldhouse.
