Auburn Sports Arena

Not to be confused with Auburn Arena.

Auburn Sports Arena was a 2,500 seat multi-purpose arena in Auburn, Alabama. Nicknamed "The Barn," it opened in 1946. It was home to the Auburn University Tigers basketball team. It was replaced when the Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum opened in 1968.

After it closed, it continued to host Auburn's women's gymnastics team.

In 1996, the Auburn Sports Arena was destroyed by a fire that occurred during the Auburn-LSU game. The fire was likely started by the embers of a tailgater's grill.

The site has since been replaced with a parking deck.
