A sports bar that is a popular spot with football fans is shutting down for renovations, and when it reopens, a local hospitality group will be running it.
According to a post in the Patch, CBS Scene at Patriot Place in Foxborough will close on February 12, with The Sun Chronicle saying that it hopes to reopen this summer with Big Night Entertainment Group managing the place. (BNEG also operates Scorpion Bar at Patriot Place.) Though the extent of the changes have not been mentioned as of yet, it appears that this is more of an upgrade to the space, and it appears--for now--that the concept and name could remain the same.
CBS Scene, which first opened in 2008, is a three-floor restaurant and bar that is known in part for its nearly 150 high definition screens and views of Gillette Stadium.

[July 18 update: According to social media posts from the place, CBS Sporting Club is now open.]
