The Memphis Grizzlies and Nashville Predators are teaming up to give Grizzlies
fans in the Nashville area and Predators fans in Memphis a chance to see their
favorite teams live on Saturday, March 10 and Saturday, March 17 with two road
trip packages. This initiative is part of Team Tennessee, a collaborative effort
among FOX Sports, the Grizzlies and the Predators to encourage fans to support
their Tennessee-based teams.
For just $62, Grizzlies fans residing in the Nashville area will have the
opportunity to take a road trip down I-40 to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the
Bluff City and watch the Grizzlies take on the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, March
17 at 7 p.m. CT. (Pregame coverage with Grizzlies LIVE will start at 6:30 p.m.
CT on FOX Sports Southeast and FOX Sports GO.) The package will include round
trip charter bus transportation to and from Nashville, one ticket to the
Grizzlies game that night and early access to FedExForum. The charter bus will
depart Nissan Stadium (1 Titans Way) at 11 a.m. and arrive at FedExForum around
2:30 p.m., dropping fans only steps away from world famous Beale Street where
the St. Patrick’s Day Parade will begin at 3 p.m. Following the parade, fans
will be granted early access to FedExForum to watch fan favorites like Marc
Gasol and Tyreke Evans participate in pre-game warmups before the 7 p.m.
tip-off.
Fans can also add an exclusive pre-game beer tasting to their trip package. For
just $30 more, fans will have the opportunity to experience FedExForum’s Draft
Room and enjoy complimentary food, a sampling of local, domestic and micro brews
and receive a commemorative Grizzlies pint glass. Fans can get more information
on Grizzlies Beer Tastings here. For more information, visit grizzlies.com or

11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7.
In addition, hockey enthusiasts in the Memphis area will also have the chance to

Devils at 7 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 10 at Bridgestone Arena. (Pregame
coverage will start at 6:30 p.m. CT with Predators LIVE on FOX Sports Tennessee
and FOX Sports GO.) For $130, fans will receive a ticket to the game along with
