Tiger fans ushered in a new era in Memphis football with the opening of Tiger Lane on September 18, 2010. Spectators, students, and fans alike all enjoyed the green space, great food and beautiful weather in the newly unveiled Memphis tailgating experience prior to hosting Middle Tennessee.
Tiger Lane is a $16 million tailgating area leading into Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The Tigers enter the stadium each game through throngs of fans lined up pre-game along with the Memphis spirit squads and the official mascot, TOM III.
