field houses

Indoor sports buildings

Field houses are large indoor athletic facilities, typically found at universities or in communities, housing basketball courts, tracks, practice areas, and sometimes seating for spectators.

The term distinguishes these multipurpose sports buildings from stadiums (outdoor) or arenas (primarily for spectator events): The team practiced at the field house during winter.
