The enhanced security measures, effective at FedExForum as of Oct. 6 for all NBA games, will now be standard for all events at FedExForum, including concerts, shows and University of Memphis events, the venue announced today.
Walk-through magnetometers were installed at FedExForum under the premise of being used at all Memphis Grizzlies games, as per an NBA mandate conceptualized this summer during league security meetings. The magnetometers have become an industry standard across MLB, NHL and NFL venues and their use will now be mandatory for every FedExForum event in order to improve fan safety and guest experience, a shared goal between FedExForum, the University of Memphis and touring production companies.
