Getting to FedExForum
Memphis Grizzlies · Memphis, TN
FedExForum publishes the most detailed driving guidance of any venue in this data — six approaches, each one named street by street from the interstate to the parking gate. Its transit guidance is the opposite: it tells you trolleys and an express shuttle run within a few blocks, and names not one of them.
Tips & Fan Reports
Drop-off is the east end of the arena on Fourth Street, between Beale and Dr. M.L. King Jr. Avenue.
The Gossett Motors Parking Garage holds 1,500 spaces, with two entrances on Dr. M.L. King Jr. Avenue.
Three trolley lines pass within a few blocks but the arena names none — look them up before you travel rather than on arrival.
Coming from Arkansas, the bridge you cross decides your street: I-40 puts you on Riverside Drive or Front Street southbound, I-55 on Riverside Drive northbound.
Ways In

- The arena is at 191 Beale Street, reached from exits off I-40, I-55 and Midtown I-240 as well as Poplar Avenue. From the north on I-55, exit east on E.H. Crump Boulevard then north on Third Street. From the south on I-40, exit south on Danny Thomas then west on Linden Avenue. From Midtown on I-240, exit right to Lamar, left on Lamar, right on Somerville and follow the curve to Linden Avenue.

- Public Transit
- The arena says an affordable roundtrip express shuttle bus and three separate trolley lines run within a few blocks, and it names none of them and publishes no stop. Plan that leg on the operator's own map.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off on B.B. King Blvd near the arena. Pickup zones on Beale Street post-game. Surge pricing is minimal for most games.
