Where we are, how to get here, when we're open.
8 answers
Where is The Gatorade Fieldhouse?
1582 Green T Road, Hernando, Mississippi 38632 — just east of McIngvale Road off I-269, minutes from Memphis and the Tennessee state line in the heart of DeSoto County.
How far is the Fieldhouse from Memphis?
About twenty-five minutes south of downtown Memphis with no traffic. We sit just off I-269 at McIngvale Road, which makes the trip from East Memphis, Collierville, Olive Branch, and Southaven especially short.
Is there parking on-site?
Yes — on-site parking sized for tournament-day crowds. The lot is built to handle full brackets, expos, and entertainment events without bottlenecking the entrance.
What are your hours?
Hours vary by program. Open play, leagues, tournaments, and private rentals run on different schedules across hardwood, turf, and pickleball. Call ahead for the specific sport or event you're planning around.
What's the best number to call?

Can I get driving directions?
Yes — head to maps with 1582 Green T Road, Hernando, MS 38632. We're easy to find off I-269; from I-55, exit at Hernando and head east. The Get Directions button on the Contact page launches Google Maps with the address pre-loaded.
Is the building ADA accessible?
Yes — accessible entry, restrooms, and viewing areas. The lot is built for tournament-day traffic with accessible spaces near the main entrance. If you have specific access questions for an event you're attending, call ahead and we'll walk through it.
Are service animals allowed?
Yes — service animals are welcome. For non-service pets, the building stays focused on athletic events; please leave them at home unless we've discussed otherwise for a specific event.
The Facility
Sixty thousand square feet, four reclaimed hardwood courts, the rest of the building.
8 answers
How big is the building?
60,000 square feet, climate-controlled, under one roof — North Mississippi's largest private indoor sports complex. Hardwood, turf, weights, and recovery all live in the same building, so athletes don't split their week across four parking lots.
How many courts do you have?
Four NCAA-regulation hardwood courts and eleven dedicated pickleball courts. The hardwood doubles as competition-grade volleyball when nets go up.
Are the courts really reclaimed from real arenas?
Yes — that's not a marketing line, it's the actual wood. Our four hardwood courts were salvaged from FedExForum (Memphis Tigers), the University of Georgia, Memphis Madness, and the Landers Center (Memphis Hustle). They were sanded and re-laid here in Hernando so the next generation gets to dribble across the same boards their heroes did.
Do you have indoor and outdoor turf?
Both. Indoor climate-controlled turf cages keep hitting and throwing year-round, and outdoor turf fields handle full-sized games and seasonal play. Open-air cages cover the in-between weather windows.
How big is the strength & conditioning room?
4,500 square feet of platforms, racks, and turf lane — built for athletes doing speed, power, and return-to-play work, not crowded gym selfies.
Are there concessions and food on-site?
On-site concessions run for tournaments and large events. For larger private events we can talk through outside-catering arrangements case by case — just let us know what you're planning.
Are there restrooms and locker rooms?
There are designated restrooms in the center of the building, but we do not have designated locker rooms for team usage.
Is there Wi-Fi for spectators?
While there is Wi-Fi in the building, keep in mind we are a metal building that has some areas the Wi-Fi struggles to reach. To access the Wi-Fi, please contact someone from the area of the building you are there seeing — each partner has their own Wi-Fi.
Sports & Programs
Basketball, volleyball, pickleball, baseball/softball, strength, recovery.
7 answers
What basketball programs do you run?
Open runs, leagues, camps, and tournament play across four NCAA-regulation hardwood courts. Whether you're a club team looking for practice nights or a player looking for a run, the floor is here.
Do you have volleyball?

Tell me about pickleball.
Eleven dedicated indoor courts. Open Gym play is available — for details, go to The Net District social media pages. Walk on, dink in, have fun. We also host clinics, leagues, and tournaments throughout the year. Those details can be found through our upcoming events with The Net District.
Do you offer baseball and softball training?
Yes — Elevate Facilities, founded by retired pro player Ed Easley, operates baseball and softball training, indoor climate-controlled batting cages, hitting and pitching instruction, and outdoor turf fields. Year-round, never weather-dependent.
Do you run adult basketball leagues?
Yes — rec and competitive adult league nights run on the hardwood courts. Seasons start at different times across the year; call (662) 221-6200 for the next start date and roster requirements.
Do you offer pickleball lessons or a pro?

Can a team hold a private tryout here?

Recovery
On-site recovery through Zivel Fieldhouse.
2 answers
Do you have recovery and cryotherapy?
Yes — Zivel Fieldhouse runs recovery and cryotherapy on-site for athletes and members. The bench is shorter and the next rep starts sooner when recovery lives in the same building you train in.
Can I walk in for cryo or do I need an appointment?
Appointments are preferred so the chamber's ready when you arrive — Zivel takes walk-ins when the calendar's open, but booking ahead is your best bet. Book at zivel.com/locations/mississippi/fieldhouse or call (662) 879-9900.
Partners & Sponsorship
Partners who run programming inside the building, plus sponsorship questions.
5 answers
Why is it called The Gatorade Fieldhouse?
PepsiCo and Gatorade signed on as the naming partner of the original Fieldhouse — that partnership reset the ambition. The mission stayed the same: give North Mississippi athletes a serious place to develop, play, and compete.
Who owns and runs the Fieldhouse?
The Gatorade Fieldhouse was developed by Greg Drumwright along with his wife, Meredith. Together they own and operate the complex. Programming is run by four on-site partners — The Net District (hardwood courts, leagues, open gym, and event space), Elevate Facilities (turf and baseball/softball), Zivel Fieldhouse (recovery and wellness), and Base Sports Performance (athlete and adult training).
Who else operates inside the building?
Four partners run programming inside the building: The Net District (hardwood courts, leagues, open gym, and events), Elevate Facilities (baseball/softball and turf training), Zivel Fieldhouse (recovery and wellness), and Base Sports Performance (athlete and adult personal training).
How do I become a sponsor?
Court naming, scoreboard sponsorship, league partnerships, tournament title rights, and brand activations are all on the table. Visit our Sponsors page or send a note through Contact selecting the Sponsorship option, and we'll come back with a tailored conversation.
How do I get my coaching business or clinic into the building?
We're always open to talking. Send a note via Contact selecting the Sponsorship / Partnership option with what your business does, the room you'd need, and the schedule you imagine. Partner relationships work best when there's clear fit with the calendar and athletes who already train here.
Safety & Policies
AED on site, staff training, age requirements, and how we keep the floor safe for everyone.
3 answers
Is there an AED on site?
Yes — AED units are on site and staff are trained on them. We treat safety like a load-in priority, not an afterthought.
Is there first aid coverage during tournaments and events?
When booking your event, let us know if you require specific first aid coverage. There is not always someone on site with the skills you might need.
Are there age requirements for unsupervised play?
This space is open to the public for all ages — you, as someone's guardian, know what a particular child can handle when unsupervised. Use your discretion and talk with your child prior to leaving them on site in any scenario. Respect for the building and those around them will be required for them to remain unsupervised.
