Reviews
tripadvisorFedExForum is a multi-purpose indoor arena located at 191 Beale Street in Memphis, the home of the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA and the University of Memphis' men's basketball team. Opened in 2004, it replaced the Pyramid, which had been deemed obsolete as a potential NBA venue, and has its naming rights purchased by one of the city's best-known businesses, Federal Express, for $92 million. The venue also has the capability of hosting ice hockey games, boxing, concerts and family shows. It is 805,850 feet in size, covers 14 acres, is round with dome and seats 18,119 for basketball with 1,000 premier courtside seats, 27 courtside suites, 32 club suites and 80 club boxes. Interestingly, the interior was designed to pay tribute to Memphis' musical heritage with paintings and murals depicting some of the city's most famous artists, including Elvis Presley, Justin Timberlake and B.B. King. As a note of trivia, FexExForum was the first arena in the country to utilize new see-through shot clock units which allow spectators seated behind the baskets to see the action without having the clocks interfere with their view. In 2012, in order to keep the Grizzlies in Memphis and keep up with NBA standards, the arena's sound system was replaced and the main basketball court was replaced at a cost of $200,000.
MoreThe venue was clean and very spacious with an amazing view from our seats. The only downside was the entry process; it was long and pretty unorganized. However, once inside, seeing New Edition perform made it all worth the wait.
MoreWe had a great experience here. We parked in the garage and walked right into the stadium. The game was fun experience.
MoreWent to Grizzlies game. The staff was top tier. Can't say enough about Lavelt! I hope someone sees this and gives him a huge raise
MoreFedEx Forum was a great venue for the Jhené Aiko concert that me and my sister went to recently. It was completely sold out, so it was awesome to hear the entire audience screaming the lyrics. The lights/sets/visuals were so pretty! The prepaid parking at Gossett Garage was very convenient, as well, since it’s attached to the venue. We were able to swiftly get in and out, even with traffic at the end of the concert. Would definitely attend another event here in the future if ever in Memphis again.
