Say they get kicked out for lack of attendance. Where would they move to? The Pyramid is a Bass Pro Shop now.

I read an article that if attendance declines for long enough, the Grizzlies lease could terminate Memphis' lease.

They could probably swing a deal with a YMCA. It works for Tulsa, no reason Memphis couldnt do the same.

They are never getting kicked out...its just that with low attendance, their revenue for playing at the FedEx Forum will just decrease, that's all...and their future contracts will be much more infavor of the arena than it would be for UM.

Maybe FEF will decrease the number of mandatory home games. Both parties would win then.

It would be nice to play a real schedule...with some actual, tough, home-home series.

lol, half the Grizz fans are Tiger fans, so they know they would be cutting off their nose to spite their face.

BUT, I mean, it's just sitting there...2 miles from campus, and in need of some TLC (20ish million) to get it back up and running.

They can just use the outdoor courts at a local park.

Cal actually wanted Memphis to play an actual game at an inner Memphis, outdoor practice court...ESPN was interested, and Cal's plan was to invite each and every local prospect there was to watch.

never came to pass, though.

You obviously don't understand. Memphis isn't going anywhere.

We could use your place, it looks kinda vacant

Looks fuller than your place recently (much fewer empty seats).

Our place holds 18,000. We're averaging 6000 through the turnstiles and 11,000 paid.

You guys haven't seen 6000 since Phi Slamma Jamma, lol. And who cares what percentage you fill? The few UH games I've seen on TV at Hofheinz, your tiny place still doesn't look 1/3 full, not by any stretch.

Enjoy the great crowds while they last, you'll go back to drawing fewer butts in the seats than your football team soon enough.

And just like I said to the Memphis guy, we'll enjoy the postseason and while you'll watch as the best--err, second best team not in it.

they won't kick them out, but they would use that as leverage to do a new deal even more beneficial to the GRizz.
