Big news for Kansas J-Hawks fans, Alan Fieldhouse is leveling up with a new upscale bar and restaurant called The Nacemith Club, opening by the end of August. It's going into the old Nacemith room space, overlooking the main entrance, run by the Oakview group, the folks who handle concessions at KU Games. This spot's design is an elevated sports club, open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch, happy hours, dinner, and late nights, but closed on mins, basketball game days, memberships open to anyone, no KU donor status needed, just pay a one-time initiation fee of $650 monthly dues of $100, $10, and hit a $300 quarterly minimum on food and drinks. Unlike the premium areas already there for select ticket holders on game days only, this club's for everyday vibes, building community with wine, tastings, family nights, Easter brunch, and more.

Founding memberships drop, end of this month, be a KU list, general sales in June, with a cap coming soon. Oakview group's betting big on this hunger for connection in college towns, and Alan Fieldhouse feels like the perfect launchpad for their first. Basketball Arena Club
