The Brewer Fieldhouse was a multi-purpose arena on the campus of the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Built in 1929 to expand upon the 500-seat Rothwell Gymnasium, the structure was named for Chester Brewer and served as the home for the university's Tigers basketball team. In 1972, basketball games moved to the new Hearnes Center. The fieldhouse and gymnasium were converted into the Student Recreation Complex, which was renovated in 1987 and again in 2005.

Lambert Fieldhouse is an athletic facility on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. It was built in 1937 on land bought by David Ross and George Ade as a replacement for Memorial Gymnasium to be the home of the Purdue basketball team, and also contained an indoor track. Memorial Gym was a 2,000 seat facility built in 1910 which had outgrown its usefulness, as the team had even resorted to playing games at the local high school gym, which seated twice as many as the gym did. In 1967, the team moved into the newly built Mackey Arena next door, and the building was remodeled to become a full-time track facility. The building also contains pool facilities, which were in use by the swimming and diving teams until 2001, when the Boilermaker Aquatic Center was completed.
