FedEx Forum

Located one-half block south of the historic Beale Street entertainment district, the new FedExForum sports arena serves as home court for the Memphis Grizzlies, as well as a venue for varied entertainment and sporting events. The design integrates the arena and parking garage into the urban streetscape and historic surroundings. A comprehensive plan leverages public interest of the arena beyond basketball and concerts to foster future mixed-use redevelopment in neighborhoods to the south.
