Overview
FedExForum is a downtown arena in Memphis, Tennessee, shared by the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies and the Memphis Tigers men's basketball program. It is one of the premier venues in the American Athletic Conference, blending an NBA-caliber fan experience with the passionate, sold-out energy Memphis brings to Tigers basketball. The arena's Beale Street-adjacent location and blues-influenced design make it a signature stop on both the college and pro basketball landscape.
History & Legacy
Opened in 2004, the arena gives Memphis basketball an NBA-caliber home court that has drawn some of the largest crowds in college hoops. It hosted the Tigers during their 2008 national runner-up season under John Calipari, and has been the Grizzlies' home throughout the Grit and Grind era and beyond. The dual-tenant setup has made it one of the most recognizable arenas in American basketball.

Very nice, clean arena. Plenty spacious but definitely gives off the nba vibe. Don’t love it for college but the facility itself is nice. Love the area surrounding the arena and able to park for free not too far away.

Pretty solid NBA arena, me and my dad sat in the Pinnacle Club. Nice floor, super nice seats and I enjoyed the pretzel I had.
