Fan Fest ~ questions
Will TOM be there? Will there be a Tiger Walk before the scrimmage at some point? There will be jumpy-houses for kids, right?

Trying to plan for twin grandbabies to come out. It WILL be hot.

Tiger Athletic site does not seem to have obvious ~ I mean, hit-you-in-the-face ~marketing of this very important day. Am I missing something? GO TIGERS!

RE: Fan Fest ~ questions
Tiger Nation will have an opportunity to get a sneak peak at the University of Memphis football team and celebrate the kickoff of the season during FanFest 2014. The event is slated for Aug. 23 from 9-11 a.m. on Tiger Lane at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium with the Tigers holding a “mock game” scrimmage inside the stadium beginning at 11 a.m.

Activities surrounding FanFest as well as the mock game are free and open to the public. Parking will also be free. With the Hit and Run 5K taking place on the Liberty Bowl grounds that same morning, parking for FanFest will be limited to the Tiger Lane A and D Lots as well as the Blue and Gold Lots surrounding the stadium.

FanFest patrons are encouraged to enter Tiger Lane via Central Avenue or Hollywood. Access will not be available via Southern Avenue nor East Parkway.


Activities during FanFest will include a live DJ, inflatables, a photo booth and a social media hub featuring Pouncer and spirit squad members along with games, prizes and giveaways. The first 250 families attending FanFest will receive a Memphis Tigers yard sign.

During FanFest, the football squad will hold its traditional Tiger Walk at approximately 9:40 a.m. Culminating preseason camp, the mock game will be a team walk through which will last approximately 90 minutes. Following the practice, fans will be invited to the field for a brief autograph and photo session with the players and coaches.

it was so hot. I saw two trees on Tiger Lane fight over a dog

it was so hot, the attendant at the Liberty Bowl charged more for the the best parking spot which was determined by shade instead of distance

it was so hot, the squirrels' nuts were sweating on Tiger Lane

It was so hot that the security did not let anyone bring cold drinks in. Really?

But a good time was had by all. Glad I wasn't a runner in the race or a football player today.

They let me, because my water bottle was in my back pocket. I learned long ago that most of the time when they ask you to lift your shirt and show your belt-line, that they only pay attention the the front. They also ask you to remove your cap, which is silly.

I'm not sure about water, but they made sure to tell me I would have to dispose of my "soda" in my hand.

I just nicely walked down the outside of the wall, around the corner, and put the Coke I had just purchased on the top of the wall inside the fence, went back to the entrance gate, walked in and retrieved my drink, so that I wouldn't have to pay to buy another one and so that I wouldn't "fall out" in the extreme heat. Don't threaten me with silly rules!

Coke won't keep you from falling out in the heat.

It's not as good as water, but it will sure hydrate you. I'm still kicking at 60+. 02-13-banana
