Halsey Field House

Halsey Field House is an indoor sports building at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis that houses multiple athletic facilities. Inside are five basketball courts, a 200-meter synthetic track, squash courts, and tennis facilities all within one structure.

This facility opened in 1957 and served as the main basketball venue for Navy teams until Alumni Hall was completed in 1991. For over 30 years, it was the heart of athletic competition at the Naval Academy.

Named after Fleet Admiral William Halsey Jr., this building shows how important physical fitness is to the Naval Academy's daily life. You can see midshipmen training throughout the day, reflecting the school's strong focus on athletic development.

The building can hold around 5,000 people and contains separate areas for athletic storage, fitness rooms, and classrooms. Access is generally limited to academy events and authorized visitors.

The building includes specialized training areas such as a martial arts dojo and a climbing wall for recreational use. These additional spaces show the range of physical training offered beyond traditional sports.
