Keeneland's newly constructed Paddock Building–offering  more than 1,000 new public dining tickets in a variety of venues each race day–will make its debut at the track's 2026 Spring Meet, which opens Apr. 3. “The Paddock Building represents an investment in the Thoroughbred industry and furthers Keeneland's mission to support and grow the sport,” said Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin. “It speaks to our confidence in racing's future while creating new, meaningful ways to engage guests year-round. These new venues will enrich the experience for racing fans, sales customers and special event guests and allow us to further showcase the very best of Keeneland's world-renowned hospitality.” The Paddock Building, which is designed for year-round use, will serve as a setting for sales and private events, as well as an area to enhance the race-day experience with a range of distinctive dining options. The new public ticketed venues in the Paddock Building include: The 1936 Room, featuring lounge seating, high-top tables, passed heavy hors d'oeuvres and premium bar service in a reception-style setting that affords fans exclusive access to the Paddock Lawn next to the Saddling Paddock; The Sycamore Room, offering a la carte high-end dining and located on the south end of the first floor of the Paddock Building adjacent to the new Stakes Winner's Circle; The Dogwood Room, a second-floor venue overlooking the Saddling Paddock featuring buffet-style dining; The Ivy Room, designed for private group gatherings and not included in public ticket offerings; and The Rooftop, located on the third floor of the Paddock Building, and featuring two distinct spaces with sweeping views of the Paddock and the entire Keeneland campus.
