Tigers To Play Blue-Gray Scrimmage At Rhodes College

Renovation of Liberty Bowl will keep Memphis out this spring

March 15, 2004

The Memphis Tiger football team will play its 2004 Blue-Gray Scrimmage at Rhodes College's Fargason Field on Saturday, April 3, at noon. The move to Rhodes was due to renovation work at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, which will keep the Tigers off Rex Dockery Field until mid-August 2004.

"I can't thank Mike Clary (Director of Athletics) and Joe White (head football coach) enough for their help," said Memphis head coach Tommy West. "When we were told that we would not be able to practice at the Liberty Bowl this spring, we started to check out area facilities. That's when our friends at Rhodes stepped forward and allowed us to use their stadium. It is greatly appreciated."

The Tigers will continue their practice sessions at Murphy Athletic Complex through April 2, before playing the Blue-Gray Scrimmage. As in the past, the final scrimmage of the spring is open to the public and there is no admission charge.

We're planning on going to this game, anyone want to join us?
