Ahead of Grizzlies' preseason, FedExForum changes are made
Welcome back to the Memphis Sports newsletter, it’s Ray Padilla with the latest Bluff City sports headlines.
The pace is picking up for sports coverage as we are getting closer to basketball season.
As people begin to pile into FedExForum for Grizzlies and Memphis Tigers games, they may notice some upgrades, including the addition of a bar within the terrace level of the arena bowl, our Damichael Cole reports.
The space will feature standing-room only ticket sales, with fans able to watch the Grizzlies and Tigers from the east side of the arena opposite the building's grand lobby, where upper deck seats often sat empty aside from the teams' biggest games.
Also from the court, Memphis basketball coach Penny Hardaway is getting back to his recruiting roots as he’s revamped his coaching staff and has met with dozens of high school seniors and juniors, our Jason Munz reports in his story for subscribers.
However, with the early signing period less than two months away on Nov. 15, the Tigers don’t yet have a verbal commitment on the board. That could soon change.
