FEDEX FORUM |
Home of
the Memphis Grizzlies, the FedEx Forum is one of the newest
arenas in the NBA. The Grizzlies have a short history as
they became an expansion franchise in 1995 in Vancouver,
Canada. The team spent six season in Vancouver, never having
a winning season. Their lack of success showed at games as
few fans attended games. The team was bought by Michael
Heisley in 2000 with the assumption that the team would stay
in Vancouver. However after the 2000-01 season the team
moved to Memphis. The Memphis Grizzlies played at the
Pyramid for three seasons. |

A new state of the
art arena was constructed in the southern area of downtown Memphis for
the Grizzlies. FedEx Corporation, whose
headquarters are in Memphis, purchased the naming rights to the arena, thus
getting its name
FedEx Forum. Built at a cost of $250 million, the arena was financed through
public bonds by the Memphis Public Building Authority. Fans have many
options for seating as the FedEx Forum has five levels of seating with just
over 18,000 seats. It has 22 courtside suites, 32 club seats and 80 club
boxes. The arena was designed with a Memphis theme that shows the history of
music throughout the concourses of the building. Themed areas through the
concourses include the Radio and Recording Zone. Public art by local artists
display paintings of the area’s music history. The FedEx Forum has many
amenities including a team store, the Jack Daniels Grill that is a casual
sports bar and a premium restaurant.
