The third phase of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment’s $140 million arena transformation introduces 9,000-square-foot club blending Brooklyn-inspired design, elevated dining and unprecedented access to the game
Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment on Jan. 15 announced plans for a redesigned, event-level premium hospitality space set to debut at Barclays Center ahead of the Brooklyn Nets’ 2026–27 season. The renovation marks the start of phase three of the organization’s ongoing, multi-year $140 million investment to reimagine and modernize the arena experience.
Building on the recently completed transformation of the arena’s West End, the new club is designed to further elevate Barclays Center’s premium offerings, creating an immersive, design-forward environment that brings fans closer to the game, the players and Brooklyn’s cultural identity.
The space will span more than 9,000-square-feet and accommodate 360 members. Its design draws inspiration from the layered evolution of DUMBO, blending industrial elements such as exposed steel trusses, brick and concrete with refined finishes and thoughtful detailing to create a sophisticated setting that feels distinctly Brooklyn.
“At Barclays Center, we continue to invest in spaces that reflect Brooklyn’s identity while redefining what premium fan experiences can be,” said Shanon Ferguson, chief hospitality officer at Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment. “As part of the third phase of our $140 million transformation, this space will bring fans closer to the action than ever before—through its design, its culinary program and its unparalleled proximity to the game.”
A central feature of the club is its elevated culinary offering, anchored by interactive show kitchens that allow guests to watch meals prepared in real time, the only club at Barclays Center to do so. Food options will include carving stations, sushi, kosher selections and elevated interpretations of classic arena favorites. A dedicated pizza oven will serve freshly made pizza, paying homage to one of Brooklyn’s most iconic staples.
Beyond dining, the reimagined club will offer rare behind-the-scenes access designed to blur the line between fan and team. Members will be able to see Brooklyn Nets players as they enter and exit the locker room area en route to the court, along with access to the practice court, creating a more intimate game-day experience.
The space will also feature a 94-foot LED board running the full length of the club, immersing guests in live game action and arena atmosphere without requiring them to leave the area. Additional amenities include a dedicated coat check, private gender-neutral restrooms and a variety of seating and social zones throughout the club.
The renovation will be led by architecture firm Populous, with construction management handled by Shawmut Design and Construction.
Club memberships will be available to Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty full and partial season ticket holders, and the space will also be offered for private rentals during select events.
