unique to FedExForum. In addition to being a new space for fans to

becoming the go-to spot in downtown Memphis for fans to watch all their favorite
sports programming while engaging with the WynnBET mobile
app. Additional details will be provided as they become

"The popularity of sports gaming in Tennessee continues to increase, and we're
thrilled to partner with one of the most recognizable names in
sports and entertainment with WynnBET," said Memphis Grizzlies

importance of a digital-first approach, partnering WynnBET
with our Grind City Media shows, content and features was a very
organic framework for building
this forward-looking partnership. We also enjoy any
opportunity to create new and different spaces to
experience inside FedExForum for our fans, and we love the
thought of being a destination in downtown Memphis for sports fans to watch their
favorite sports programming year-round."
