The Wildemuth Intramural Center is an on-campus gymnasium used for intramural sports at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. It opened in 1928 as the IU Fieldhouse, replacing the former Men's Gymnasium in the Health, Physical Education & Recreation building next door, and originally housed the basketball program. The building was home to the Hoosiers' 1940 and 1953 NCAA basketball championships, as well as five Big Ten Conference titles, 20 All-Americans, 17 All-Big Ten first team players, and three Big Ten Most Valuable Players, all under three coaches in a span of thirty-two seasons in the building. The basketball team moved out in 1960 to the "New" IU Fieldhouse before moving into the current home, Assembly Hall, in 1971.
