'''FedExForum''' is a multi-purpose indoor [[arena]] located in [[Downtown Memphis, Tennessee|Downtown]] [[Memphis, Tennessee]]. It is the home of the [[Memphis Grizzlies]] of the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA) and the [[NCAA Division I]] [[Memphis Tigers men's basketball|men's basketball program]] of the [[University of Memphis]], both of whom previously played home games at the [[Memphis Pyramid]]. The venue also has the capability of hosting [[ice hockey]] games, [[concert]]s, and family shows.

The arena officially opened in September 2004 after much debate and also a [[2003 Mid-south derecho|derecho wind storm on July 22, 2003]], that nearly brought down the [[Crane (machine)|cranes]] that were building it near the famed [[Beale Street]]. It was built at a cost of US$250 million and is owned by the City of Memphis; [[naming rights]] were purchased by one of Memphis's best-known businesses, [[FedEx]], for $92 million. FedExForum was financed using $250 million of [[public bond]]s, which were issued by the Memphis Public Building Authority (PBA).
