2005 Outlook Tigers Look to Continue Winning Tradition in 2005 Memphis goes for seventh winning season in W gears under Yertg
Coming off its second-straight 25win season, the Memphis volleyball program embarks on a new challengelife in the realigned Conference USA. A l t h o u g h some of the teams have changed, the goals remain the same for the 2005 Tigers sguad. "Our goal is to win all of our nonconference matches and to challenge for the Conference USA championship," said 10"'-gear head coach Carrie Yertg. "If gou expect anything less, then you'll surelg attain something less." However, this gear's team has a different make-up. The Tigers will be a goung squad at the setter position, but with core contributors at other positions returning, Memphis should have an opportunity to compete for wins both at home and on the road. "1 think that if we are plaging well, we can compete with every team in the conference," Yerty stated. In order to accomplish this, the Tigers must capitalize on their ability to play together and put a premium on team chemistrg. Memphis had a solid spring with several plagers gaining experience, and the Tigers are looking to build on that this fall. In addition, the Tigers return a veteran core that made critical contributions and developed solid team chemistrg en route to a 27-10 record
Memphis Vollegball 2005
in 2004. Memphis will need both as it enters play in the new Conference USA. "I think that the new conference alignment is going to be exciting for our players," said Yerty. "As far as where we fit in and who's going to be the top team, I don't know because 1 haven't had the opportunitg to compete against some of the teams that have come in." Despite the loss of perennial league powers Louisville, Cincinnati and Marguette, Conference USA should remain egually as strong in vollegball as it has been in the past. With the addition of Rice, Marshall, UCF and SMU, Memphis still faces a tough task in its guest for a league title. The Tiger program, which has been picked to finish third overall in the C-USA preseason poll, has worked hard to establish itself as a team to beat in Conference USA. Although given such high respect, Yertg and her staff know that what the preseason polls sag has little to do with where evergone finishes the gear. A critical measure of the success of this gear's team is how it recovers from the losses of seniors Heather Watts and Tiara G-ilkey. "Angtime gou lose a four-gear starter that has the work ethic and leadership abilities and athleticism that Heather Watts brought to our court, gou are losing a lot," Yertg said. Over the course of the spring workouts, several plagers showed the ability to step into the huge footsteps of Watts. Although Watts will be difficult to replace, expect the Tiger offense to run smoothlg and the court leadership to be at the same level. Most of the same can be said for (jilkeg's loss. Cjilkey, who was a dynamic attacker that provided crunchtime points, was Memphis's "go-to" player last season, so the Tigers will be more diverse offensively in 2005. Junior MELISSA NANCE, sophomore ASHLEY LIFORD and senior FEHI TUIVAI will lake on more attacking responsibilities. In addition, COLETTE RAMIREZ, a transfer from Virginia Tech, will challenge for plaging time. The 2005 "guick-attack" Tiger offense will also benefit from a stable passing game with veterans CHRISTEN CLAYTON and EMILY STECKEL at the libero spot. Leadership from the senior class has helped guide Memphis to 57 wins over the past two seasons and the 2005 campaign brings no exceptions. The Tigers will look to seniors KR1STEN HARDEE, NANCY NELLANS and Tuivai to provide guidance both on and off the court.
Nellans returns for her final season after being a starter for each of the last three campaigns. The South Bend, Ind., native has the abilitg to be a dynamic outside hitter and has matured on the court in terms of her ability to handle any set given to her. Tuivai has grown the most in terms of leadership. Look for the senior middle hitter to take on more of a leadership role. Yerty and her staff are hoping she will become more involved in the offense. Hardee had a great spring and emerged as a passer and a defender. One of the most explosive attackers on the team, Hardee is exciting to watch and is expected to make a sizeable contribution this gear.
Liberos
The strongest position on the court for the Tigers will be the libero. With veterans Clayton and Steckel returning for their third season, Memphis's passing game and defense will be stable at all times. "I'm really excited about our liberos," said Yerty. "Christen (Clayton) and Emily (Steckel) and are as experienced as any players on our team. They both have played in nearly every match of their careers. Both understand our offense and defense." Clayton and Steckel have improved in both areas defensively and a passer as well as a defender. They will be looked on to provide court leadership.
Emily Steckel

2005 Outlook native must focus and come readg to plag 110 percent everg dag. Freshman LAURA COTE, who saw action at setter for the Canadian Junior National team, will also challenge for the starting setter position.
Newcomers
Outside Hitters
With the exception of Tiara Qilkeg, Memphis returns everyone on the outside, led bg Nellans. As one of the team's leading defenders, Nellans looks to take on more passing responsibilities in 2005. Liford, who returns for her sophomore season, has worked hard to improve her skills, and has trained, plaged and worked out all summer. After downing 305 kills as a freshman, expect her to be a major part of the offense. Also look for Ramirez to step in and contribute earlg. The Virginia Tech transfer will plag either outside or right side for the Tigers.
Middle Hitters
The Memphis middle hitters mag be the surprise group of the team this gear. With Tuivai and sophomore Shelbg Burton returning, Yertg expects a larger contribution from the middles. Tuivai led the 2004 team in blocks, and with her becoming more comfortable with the offense, she will be looked to do the same in 2005. According to Yertg, Burton could be one of Conference USA's best middles in terms of attacking abilitg. "We focused all spring on our blocking with our middles, so we are hoping to see improvement there," said Yertg. Extensive contributions are also expected from Nance, who will serve as team captain for the second-consecutive gear.
Setters
The setter position is perhaps the most uncertain for Memphis. HR1STINA SLANCHEVA, who has served as Watts's backup the past two seasons, has the opportunitg to come in and earn the starting position as setter. "Angtime gou get to have the opportunitg to watch and train with a setter like Heather Watts, gou are going to improve, just bg her level of commitment," Yertg said. Out for the Tigers to excel under Slancheva's leadership, the Bulgarian
Memphis welcomes five newcomers to the 2005 sguad in Ramirez and freshmen SARAH BURY, Cote, KOR1 SMITH and REBEKAH STRICKLAND. Ramirez comes to Memphis from a high level of plag and she is one of the most competitive plagers on the team. She has solid passing skills and should be able to contribute as a primarg passer. The highlg-touted Canadian duo of Burg and Cote are expected to make significant contributions to the program this gear. Cote has been plaging vollegball non-stop the past gear, seeing action for her high school and club sguads as well as for Canada in international plag. A versatile plager, Cote could work into the starting rotation at setter or libero. She is an aggressive and dgnamic defender who is a great leaper and has a good sense for blocking. Bury adds a 6-2 frame to the front row. She is a dgnamic attacker who has the abilitg to plag both the front and back row. She will add depth to the middle hitting position. The Tiger staff is excited to have Smith and Strickland on the team. A solid passer and tough server, Smith can play all three defensive positions. Look for Smith to take this gear to learn from Clagton and Steckel and get comfortable with Memphis's stgle of plag so that she can contribute in the future. Strickland is a very good blocker who brings height to the front row. She has
Melissa Nance
a natural sense for blocking and will be trained on the right side. Look for her to use this gear to learn the offense and defense and adjust to the speed of the college game.
Coaching Staff
Along with entering a realigned CUSA, the Memphis vollegball program welcomes a new coaching staff. Former Tiger standout April Harriman returns to her alma mater, and Travis Filar also comes aboard as an assistant. "1 am excited about mg staff," said Yerty. "I am excited to have April back. She has four gears of coaching experience at the Division I level, and she is verg confident and secure in her training abilitg. "Travis is a great motivator. He comes to us with three gears of Division I coaching experience. He has a great work ethic. This is going to be the best staff that we've had. We all complement each other verg well and I look forward to working with them evergday."

2004 Year-In-Review Tigers Post Second-Straight I 25-Plus Win Season The 2004 Memphis team volleyball faced a tough task going into the season - one that would reguire them to follow the program's best year with a season of near or egual success. A team that lacked a true fiery leader as the 2003 team had in Brittany Barnett, the 2004 Tigers looked to senior setter Heather Watts and right side hitter Tiara (jilkeg to lead bg example. The duo provided the leadership on the floor, and the Tigers jumped out to a guick 4-0 mark with consecutive sweeps over Tennessee State, 2003 NCAA Tournament participant Alabama Af}M, Delaware State and Illinois-Chicago en route to the Tiger's second-consecutive Memphis Invitational Tournament title. Watts took home tourI nament MVP accolades, while sophomore â&#x20AC;˘ middle hitter Melissa Nance was also named . to the All-tournament team. Memphis then took to the road for a weeklong trip to Utah, where it would face stiffer competition. The Tigers' first road test came I against Weber State. Theg were up to the ! task, easilg sweeping the Wildcats to improve to 5-0 for the program's best start since the 2001 season. Memphis took its undefeated slate in the BYU-Mizuno Classic, where the Tigers were scheduled to face Big 12 member Oklahoma, national power BYU, UCF and Utah Valleg State. The Sooners ended the Tigers' string of 15straight games won with a 32-30 win in the opening game. Memphis found itself behind 2-0 after dropping game two, but rebounded to claim the third set before suffering its first loss. The Tigers then plaged the home BYU Cougars in a hostile environment that
Memphis Volleyball 2005
saw the U of M play in front of its largest crowd of the gear. BYU proved to be too strong for the Tigers in a three-game setback. Memphis refused to leave Utah without a victory, and after a sluggish start, took a four-set match from 2005 C-USA newcomer UCE UVSC took advantage of an overconfident Tiger team to claim a sweep in the final match of the weekend. Memphis finished fourth in the Classic, while Qilkeg garnered All-Tournament Team honors. Memphis returned home for a doubleheader with Central Arkansas and Arkansas Stale on Sept. 14. Another slow start found the Tigers trailing 1-0 after game one against OCA. However, they managed to bounce back and win each of the next three games for the win. The nightcap was not so kind. Despite a career-high 20 digs from libero Emily Steckel, Arkansas State handed Memphis a 3-1 loss. The Tigers would not lose another match for a month. Consecutive wins over Louisiana Tech, Eastern Kentuckg and Mississippi State produced the MSU/Microtel Classic championship in which Qilkey was tabbed MVP and Nancy Nellans was placed on the All-Tournament team. The Tigers ran the winning streak to four matches with a dominating sweep at Davidson and then set out to claim their second-consecutive tournament title at the UNC-tjreensboro Invitational. Nancg Nellans' seven service aces paced the Tigers to a 3-1 win over Florida Atlantic in the opener, and a crushing 30-11 game-four helped push them past UNCAsheville. Memphis picked up where it left off in the next match, beating Morgan State 30-11 in the opening frame before finishing off the sweep. A 3-1 win over the home team, UNC-Qreensboro Spartans, clinched Memphis's second-straight tournament title as Watts earned MVP honors, with Qilkeg being tabbed an All-Tournament Team performer. Memphis then took its eight-game winning string into Conference USA plag. Saint Louis came into town for the league opener for both teams. Nellans downed 29 kills and Watts set 72 assists to help the Tigers outlast the Billikens in a thrilling five-game contest. Memphis then posted wins over Southern Miss, Tulane, East Carolina and Charlotte to extend its winning streak to 13 matches. The Memphis success would come to a screeching halt in the next match when the Tigers traveled down the road for a meeting with rival Ole Miss. A hostile environment helped the Rebels take two of the first three
32
sets, but the Tigers managed to weather the storm and claim game four. However, a .105 *u| hitting percentage in the final frame would bring the Tigers to their first loss in a month I of action. Coming off the disappointing loss at Ole I Miss, the Tigers faced their toughest portion of the schedule with weekend matches at Cincinnati and Louisville. The U of M took ils 5-0 league mark into Fifth/Third Arena, looking to make a statement with a big win. But nine kills and a .000 attack percentage in game one resulted in a loss. Memphis responded by hitting .356 with 22 kills in a strong second set to pull even at one game a piece. The Tigers looked to take the momentum of the contest with a close 30-28 win in the third game, but again was struck bg poor plag in the fourth, hitting .098 while the Bearcats pounded 17 kills and hit .343 to knot the contest at 2-2. The Tigers and Bearcats battled back and forth, fighting to gain control in the deciding game. Memphis took the lead late and, with match-point on the line, was unable to convert to end the f match. UC used the Memphis miscues to its advantage, and after four ties and four lead changes, handed the U of M a heart-wrench; ing 3-2 loss. The task onlg got tougher for Memphis as the Tigers traveled to Louisville to take on the league's top team. Nellans put down 16 kills, but Memphis was unable to hit over .100 in ang of the three games, including hitting a dismal -.053 in the third and final frame. Memphis returned home with a threematch losing skid, its longest of the season, but quickly turned the tide. Behind a 13kill, 14-dig performance from Nellans, along with 12 kills from freshman Ashley Liford

and 11 (rom (jilkeg, Memphis raced to a convincing sweep of in-state foe Middle Tennessee to snap the streak. The Tigers braced themselves for the final stretch of the league schedule. Memphis welcomed Marguette and DePaul into the Fieldhouse for a pair of must-win matches. Memphis was up to the task against Marquette, as [jilkeg had a clutch 21-kill night and Mellans posted 17 kills and 15 digs to help Memphis escape with a 15-13 win in the fifth and deciding game to propel the Tigers into sole possession of third place in the league standings. Memphis took the momentum from the thrilling win over Marguette and swept DePaul and DAB in consecutive matches, before making the long trip to Tampa for a date with the USF Bulls. The U of M hit .344 in game one and just . 159 in game two, but managed to go into the break with a 2-0 cushion. From that point on, however, it was all USF Despite doubledoubles from [jilkeg, Nellans and Watts, the Tigers could not hold off fatigue, and hit a paltrg .151, .160 and -.105 in three-consecutive games to lose the match 3-2. Five-game contests continued to prove unkind to the Tigers when theg hosted TCO in the final weekend of regular season plag. Despite a Memphis volleyball record and career-high 81 assists from , a match-high 24 kills from Nellans and career nights from Liford (19 kills) and (17 kills), the Tigers were unable to pull out a win as theg fell to Horned Frogs 3-2, falling from third to fourth in the C-USA standings. Senior night at the Fieldhouse was just mat for the Tiger seniors as Watts and (jilkeg led the Tigers to a sweep of Houston in the final performance in front of the home crowd. Memphis also got 16 kills from Fehi Tuivai
and 12 from Liford enroule to finishing the night with a .326 hitting percentage. The Tigers wrapped up the regular season ranked fifth in the C-USA standings, which set up a rematch with DePaul, which entered the tournament as the 12-seed. The outcome was the same as Memphis hit .302 for the match, while four Tigers reached the double-digit kills mark. The win advanced the U of M to the second round for a rematch with TCU. The two teams met on the floor for the second time in nine dags, fjame one saw the two sguads exchange leads three times with the score being tied on seven occasions, but Memphis's .304 percentage would prevail to give the Tigers a critical 1-0 lead. TCU evened the match with a 30-23 triumph in game two and took advantage of 15 Tiger errors and a -.021 attack percentage bg Memphis to inch one game awag from ending the U of M season. Cjame three saw 18 ties and nine lead changes before the Horned Frogs came away with the victorg. A resilient bunch emerged and battled to a 3129 win to send the match to the fifth and deciding game. Memphis took control of the final set from the first point, an ace bg Christen Clagton, and led bg as much as four at 128. A TCU rallg cut the gap to 13-12, before a pair of kills bg (jilkeg clinched a semifinal berth for the Tigers. A large undertaking loomed ahead, after the guarterfinal victory, a second matchup with Louisville. The Cardinals had lost just two matches all season, and the Tigers were unable to hand them another, hitting .047 for the match and falling 3-0 to end the season with the program's first back-to-back 27-win seasons since the 1980 and 1981 campaigns. The 57 wins over the last two seasons are the most since '80 and '81.

THE B A N N E R S
Sandg Monce-Qarner, a member of the Tiger volleyball team from 19771980, is the only Tiger to have had her jersey retired. Her No. 9 hangs from the rafters in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. As a Tiger, Monce was the only student-athlete to be invited to the Olympic Team tryouls in 1980. Despite not making the team, Monce soon began her coaching career as a graduate assistant for then-Memphis State. She assumed an assistant coaching spot with the Tigers in 1984. Monce was an assistant for Memphis until 1986. Monce was also a member of the Lady Tiger track and field team.

Dreamers. Thinkers. Doers, lor almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of MemI phis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception as a normal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educator of technologically-sawy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while looking forward to and planning for its future. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major^ professors at European universities; they come her;eÂťtd^ study subjects that are offered nowhere else;-*they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scie/itific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our "people assets" have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact

he University of Memphis began as a small state teacher's college. Today, the U of M is a major center for learning and research. The University of Memphis' roots date back to 1912 when radio was young, motion pictures were silent and William Howard Taft was in the White House. Named West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution's main purpose was to educate secondary-school teachers. It became West Tennessee State Teachers College in 1925. Answering the need for a comprehensive school in the Mid-South, WTSTC expanded its curriculum. In 1941, the school's name changed to Memphis State College, and in 1957, the college received university status and became Memphis State §/ersity. On July 1, 1994, the name was changed he University of Memphis. The U of M now has •e than 20,000 students and a campus of 1,160 acres on four different sites. The main campus lies in the center of a wide spread metropolis and combines the convenience of a large city with the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood. South Campus, which was once a veteran's hospital, is home to the Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex and student family housing. Students and[ faculty members can conduct environmental research at the EdwardJ. Meeman Biological

he Tigers South Campus Strength and Conditioning facility is located next to the newly remodeled indoor turf room in the Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex. Opened in January 1993, the facility serves each of the University's intercollegiate sports programs. Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts at South Campus. He is aided by graduate assistants Josh Medler and Jason Hartman and volunteer assistant Ken Roach. The Tiger football, men's soccer, baseball and track teams work out with Stark and his staff. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with numerous professional football players, including the Detroit Lions' Marcus Bell, the Arizona Cardinals' Michael Stone, the Indianapolis Colts' Idrees Bashir and the St. Louis Rams' All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. In addition to the South Campus weight room, there is a weight facility in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room will benefit women's basketball, volleyball, women's tenwomens soccer. Assistant Strength Coach Lee Yerty is responsible for all workouts in the Fieldhouse. He is assisted by graduate assistant and former volleyball player Brittany Barnett. . The . . men's basketball team utilizes a facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans and graduate assistant Mike Malone are charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball, as well as the men's tennis and men's golf teams. With three state-of-the-art facilities located around campus, the U of M Strength and Conditioning staff is well-equipped to handle the training needs of Tiger student-athletes.
WEIGHT- ROOM -HIGHLIGHTS <
The 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency.
<
Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff's certified specialists, and each student-athlete's individual progress is projected via a computerized database.
<
The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatigue). Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom-line objectives.
<
The weight room's equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 selfcontained Olympic platforms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, glute/ ham stations, cable stations and other supplemental pieces allowing student-athletes to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements.
<
The modern and spacious facility is also equipped with dressing/rest rooms; is naturally 74 degrees
<
In planning the long-range Tiger Power programs, student-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For example, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of "foundational" or generalized movements and progress toward more intensive and specialized exercises with each successive phase.
^â&#x20AC;˘^â&#x20AC;˘BBMHVRBHBMBL. < The actual workout menu may remain
fairly constant over a student-athletes four- or fiveyear sport career; however, broad variations in workload combine the program's simplicity with a measure of sophistication.

he University of Memphis' Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated _ to the academic and personal devejopment of all Tiger student-athletes. Its mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes succeed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees. The services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. In March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of six while also utilizing 20-30 tutors, an intern, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance. Assistant director Nicole Green, who was hired May 2003, was brought in specifically to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compliance matters associated with prospective and current to specific sports working with those student-athletes and coaching staffs. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center's staff, the coaching staffs and the studentathletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last three academic years, 12 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of studentathletes made the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll and several individual stuent-athletes

have been recognized for prestigious academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 31 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of Mi-HLÂť J.iuu, introduction to ine university, were offered to student-athletes only. The class was so well received that a third section was offered in 2003 so that all freshman student-athletes can be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average of 15.2 credit hours and an average GPA of 3.25. Three academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top studentathletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes studentathletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 studentathletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade-point average for the semester.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daughter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis, however, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shane and TOM gers-of-Memphis. TOM won. During his first few months in

onsidered the "Home of the Blues" and the "Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll," the city of Memphis' musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down: to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects has been the construction of AutoZone Park, the downj town ballpark which is the home of 'the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals' Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the worldfamous Peabody Hotel.

Handy, who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor "Boss" Crump called "Boss Crump Blues" and later published as the "The Memphis Blues." The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. From B.B. King's to the Daisy Theatre, from Silky O'Sullivan's to the Hard Rock Cafe, from Pat O'Brien's to the Rum Boogie Cafe, Beale Street has something to offer for everyone. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the I annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long musical festival is just a
