Avron Fogelman’s $1.5 Million Gift to Improve Home of Tiger Baseball

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The home of Memphis Tiger Baseball will be known as FedExPark Avron Fogelman Field after a transformational $1.5 million gift in support of renovations at the facility was made by Memphis businessman, philanthropist and lifelong baseball enthusiast Avron Fogelman.

"Being a supporter of the University of Memphis for over 50 years, and since my life has been so intertwined with baseball from playing in the little leagues in Memphis to owning a World Series Championship team, I want to see the UofM baseball program enjoy great success, just as its basketball and football teams have," said Fogelman.
