We’ve tried reaching out to the FedEx Forum (where the Memphis Grizzlies play) several times to get information on what vegan options are available at the arena. Unfortunately, we’ve not received any responses yet.
In the meantime, we mention a couple you can look for and have provided you with the policies you may need to know if you’re thinking about bringing your own food or drinks into the stadium. We also list their bag policies since these tend to go hand in hand.
Below is also a list of vegan-friendly restaurantsurants close by should you want to eat before or after the game.
