It says "The FedExForum arena is 805,850 sq. feet in size covering 14 acres."

But 805,850 sq. feet = 18 acres
and 14 acres = 609 840 sq feet.

Can anyone resolve this mismatch?


I think perhaps its talking that in a space of 14 acres there is 805,850 sq feet. for example a skyscraper can take up 1 acre on the ground but have way more sq footage than that of one acre. I believe thats what its referring to. not a direct Conversion from sq feet to acres.

[edit] Poorly Written

The grammar and overall writing of this article is horrible. It needs to be re-written. It also seems this article was written as an advertisement rather than an informative article. Due to both these issues, and as evidenced by the deplorable grammar of this article, perhaps no one from Memphis should be allowed to write it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ersatz723 (talkcontribs)

Please don't slander articles, editors, or whole cities when voicing your displeasure with an article. As this is Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", you are more than welcome to take a crack at cleaning up this article. -Rhrad 18:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How is FedExForum unique?

The first sentence of the article, "FedExForum is one of the most unique arenas in the NBA", piqued my interest. I read on, hoping to find out which architectural feature, invention or design makes the arena so unique. Unfortunately, I was left hanging.

If anyone can expand on what makes the FedExForum so unique & different from other arenas, I think it would be a great addition to this article. -Rhrad 18:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
