Levitt Arena
Charles Koch Arena is a 10,506-seat multi-purpose arena in Wichita, Kansas, United States. It is located on the southeast corner of 21st and Hillside on the campus of Wichita State University in northeast Wichita. The arena is home to the Wichita State Shockers men's basketball, women's basketball, and women's volleyball teams.
