About Allen Fieldhouse

Allen Fieldhouse is an indoor arena located on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence, Kansas. Opened in 1955, it is owned and operated by the University of Kansas and KU Athletics, with a basketball capacity of approximately 16,300. The arena is also known as “The Fieldhouse” and “The Phog,” names that reflect its deep connection to Kansas athletics and college basketball tradition.

The venue is the home court for Kansas Jayhawks Men’s Basketball and Kansas Jayhawks Women’s Basketball, both competing in NCAA Division I’s Big 12 Conference, and it also hosts Kansas Jayhawks Volleyball. Its event mix centers on NCAA basketball and volleyball, along with university events, exhibitions, and campus ceremonies. Basketball season typically runs from November through March, while volleyball is played in the fall.

Allen Fieldhouse is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most storied venues in college basketball. It is named for Dr. F.C. “Phog” Allen, the Jayhawks’ head coach for 39 years and a pioneering figure in the sport, while the court itself is named James Naismith Court in honor of basketball’s inventor and Kansas’s first basketball coach. The “Beware of The Phog” banner, the “Rock Chalk Jayhawk” chant, and the arena’s steep enclosed bowl help create an atmosphere recognized by Guinness World Records as among the loudest indoor arenas in the world.

Location & Transportation

Allen Fieldhouse is located at 1651 Naismith Drive, Lawrence, KS 66045 — on the University of Kansas campus.

Driving and Parking: On-campus parking lots serve the arena, with event parking available nearby. Parking around campus is generally moderate, but lots fill before marquee games, so arriving early is the best approach for high-demand Jayhawks matchups.

Transit: KU on Wheels and Lawrence Transit bus service operate on and around campus, making transit most practical for students and local attendees. Rail service does not serve the arena directly.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available near Allen Fieldhouse. After high-profile games, expect congestion and longer wait times as crowds leave the campus area.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in Lawrence, including hotels near campus and in the downtown Massachusetts Street area. Additional hotel options are found along the Interstate 70 corridor.

Venue Navigation

Allen Fieldhouse has a classic arena layout, with seating arranged in a steep bowl around James Naismith Court. Understanding the bowl and surrounding campus access points before arrival helps make game day smoother, especially for sold-out or high-profile matchups.

Entrances and Access: Multiple entrances serve the arena from the surrounding campus parking lots and walkways. Because crowds can be heavy before tip-off, building in extra time helps with walking from lots, entering the arena, and getting through screening.

Concourse Levels: Seating surrounds the court in lower and upper seating areas. The steep bowl keeps fans close to the action visually and acoustically, contributing to the venue’s famously loud atmosphere.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available at Allen Fieldhouse.

Dining Options

Inside Allen Fieldhouse

Concessions offering standard arena fare are available throughout the concourses. For busy Jayhawks games, planning concessions before peak pregame windows or during natural breaks can help reduce time spent in line.

Outside the Venue — Massachusetts Street

Downtown Lawrence’s Massachusetts Street district, known as “Mass Street,” offers a dense mix of restaurants, bars, and cafes a short distance from campus. It is one of the most practical areas for dining before or after an Allen Fieldhouse event.

Security & Policies

Allen Fieldhouse maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: KU Athletics enforces a clear-bag policy for events, with limits on bag size. Small clutch bags are typically permitted, and bag rules can vary by event.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, and other items barred under standard arena security policy.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is typically not permitted once a guest has exited. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, metal detection screening, and digital ticket verification at entry. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed the process at the arena entrance.

How Much Do Tickets to Allen Fieldhouse Cost?

Allen Fieldhouse ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from women’s basketball and volleyball to marquee Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball matchups.

Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball regular-season games are often listed in the approximate $40–$150+ range, with seat location and opponent playing a major role in price. Lower-bowl and sideline locations typically command more than upper-level or end-court areas.

Marquee men’s basketball matchups, including ranked opponents and rival games, can start around $150 or more. Conference rivals, nationally ranked teams, and high-demand dates can push prices higher as inventory tightens.

Kansas Jayhawks women’s basketball and volleyball tickets are typically lower, often starting under $20. These events can offer strong value for fans who want to experience Allen Fieldhouse in a college-sports atmosphere at a lower entry point.

High-demand games sell out well in advance; buying earlier generally secures better options and pricing. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections often rise in price.

Best Seats at Allen Fieldhouse

• Best value: Upper-level and end-court sections are typically the most affordable options, offering access to the Allen Fieldhouse atmosphere at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower-bowl sideline seats put fans nearest to the floor, making them the top choice for maximum proximity to the court.

Getting Ready for Your Allen Fieldhouse Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for a busy campus game day at Allen Fieldhouse.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for marquee games, as parking lots and student lines fill well before tip-off.
• Wear the right footwear. The seating bowl is steep with stairs, so comfortable footwear is advisable.
• Plan for the walk from parking. Allen Fieldhouse is an indoor arena, so weather exposure is limited to the walk from parking.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
