Huey Long Field House

Huey Long Field House

Huey Long Field House, on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, was constructed in 1932. It was named for notable U.S. Senator and state governor Huey Long. The field house was the original student union and also featured the largest indoor swimming pool in the country at the time. It was replaced by the LSU Assembly Center, now the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, in 1971.

The facility hosted the 1938 Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournament.

The building is currently the home of LSU's School of Social Work and Department of Kinesiology.
