Yes. It has been under construction for about six months or so. It will be at Third and Linden, about four blocks from AutoZone Park and two blocks from Peabody Place.

 

FedEx bought naming rights and will call it FedExForum.

 

There aren't any good keep-up-with-the-construction sites for it, but here's what I could find:

http://www.newmemphisarena.com/index.asp has some designs and everything like that.

I didnt know it would seat 18,500.

 

That is a lot more then I thought it would...most NBA arenas are not that big...actually they want around 15,000 capacity I hear. They think about 14,000 a game would be great...and I know at some places they struggle sometimes with about 6,000 a game. I am glad they made it 18K or so...I think we will still have problems attracting an SEC tournament or something like that...but we could definitely host a women's tournament or possibly some more NCAA tournament games for men and women.

SI has a good article on Jerry West and a pic of him on the site during the ground-breaking...the move to Memphis might be the best thing that every happened to the Grizz, especially with J. West making the decisions...now Hubie Brown...I don't know how long that can last, but it's doing better than I would have thought...I almost thought the Grizz were going to get into the LeBron James lottery early.

I've lost track on this: are they building a new arena in Memphis, for the Grizzlies?

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
