Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium’s $227 million construction project isn’t yet finished, but Tigers fans got their first look at the renovation last week. 

Memphis Tigers basketball coach Penny Hardaway addressed questions about the upcoming season Wednesday after golfing 18 holes at the FedEx St. Jude Championship Pro-Am.

The NCAA’s roster limits axed one of college sports’ most compelling traditions: the opportunity for homegrown talent to grind their way from a nobody to a star.

Memphis welcomed fans to take a look at its new-and-improved stadium Saturday. At the end of another tough week in Memphis sports, it is worth remembering what community can do.

The Tigers hosted a fan fest practice at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, showing off what’s to come for a newly reconstructed team and stadium.

Saturday will allow fans to see the progress made on the Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium renovation while checking out the team led by football coach Charles Huff.

“What should be clear to any University of Memphis fan is this: Based on the final language of the bill, the U of M would be anything but protected if this bill is signed into law.”

Charles Huff has told both QBs they looked more relaxed now than they did during the spring.
