Hoch Auditorium was a 5,500-seat multi-purpose arena on the main campus of the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. It was home to the Kansas Jayhawks basketball teams until Allen Fieldhouse opened in 1955. On June 15, 1991, Hoch Auditorium caught fire after being struck by lightning. The auditorium and stage area were completely destroyed; only the limestone facade and lobby area were spared.
