Naismith Room
The Naismith Room is to be used for special functions:
- Donor entertainment
- Men’s and women’s basketball pre-game meals
- Kansas Athletics teams post-season banquets
- Other as approved by Director of Athletics
The Naismith Room has a seating capacity of 122.
On game days, the basketball team may eat a pre-game meal in the room but must vacate it at least three hours prior to tip-off. Additionally, teams must clean up after themselves. Doors for invited donors will open 90 minutes prior to tip-off. A catered buffet will be provided along with beer, wine, soda, water, and coffee. At tip-off the room will close until half time, when it will re-open serving snacks and drinks. At the beginning of the second half, the room will close again until the end of the game, at which time it will re-open for one hour serving coffee, soda, water and deserts.
Guests for each game will differ. The guest list must be pre-approved by the Athletics Director. The Williams Educational Fund will staff donor receptions. No Kansas Athletics staff or family members are to enter unless they have been assigned specific duties (fundraising, etc.).
Other Kansas Athletics teams may request use of the Naismith Room for specific functions (end of year banquets, etc.). With approval from Athletics Director this will be an allowed use of the room.
The ‘kitchen’ consists of a refrigerator, hand-sink and microwave. There is also a keg-aerator in the Naismith Room. The Memorial Union is required under University rules to cater in University buildings. Therefore, the Naismith Room and Jayhawk Den can only be catered by the Union; there are no exceptions.
