The Iowa Field House is a multi-purpose arena in Iowa City, Iowa. Opened in 1927, it held up to 13,365 people at its height. It was home to the Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team before they moved to the newly-constructed Carver-Hawkeye Arena in 1983. Currently, the swimming and gymnastics teams continue to host events at the Field House, and it also serves as the main student wellness center. The building was a regional site for the NCAA Basketball Tournament four times, in 1954, 1956, 1964 and 1966.
