Wichita has a rich history of hosting one of basketball’s biggest events. The NCAA Tournament has tipped off in the city 12 times since the 1950s. Eight of the dozen were played at what is now Charles Koch Arena. One was at the old Kansas Coliseum, and the remaining have been hosted at Intrust Bank Arena. The tournament first visited the Air Capital in 1956 at the Roundhouse, which was then called the University of Wichita Field House.
