Look how awesome the field and goal posts and state-of-the-art turf came together for this professional sporting event in Lafayette (pictured in the tweet on right)!



The Louisiana Voodoo beat the storied Philadelphia Soul franchise, 53-18.

How old is that building? My Dad talked about attending events there in the late 50s-early 60s.

Whoever selected that arena for that game should be fired.

All things considered its pretty damn impressive that they were even able to get that game in. Supposedly the frames and Nets are supposed to be coming in this week? Considering they were kicked out of LC a week ago and having to pack up and move on short notice I have to give them credit. Not to mention the whole fiasco with Philadelphia Soul/Dallas Falcons.

So with all the rumors about the league and the team, they actually did play the game. Good luck to them.

Lake Charles might have dodged a bullet. They saw the writing on the wall. That picture sure looks like an organization that couldn’t pay their rent.

Once upon a time in the late 2000’s, Arena football was the real spring/summer league. ESPN made it a big deal and I think I remember Mike and Mike calling games.


RIP New Orleans Voo Doo

In a perfect world, Blackham gets demolished and we would build a new 6,000 seat basketball arena in its place.

Put whatever funds the city is going to put towards a new performing arts center, gut the Cajundome and redesign it for that purpose.

Or we can just randomly have rodeos and AFL teams.

had no idea they got kicked from LC. will the team ever play in the cajun dome or is that their permanent site?

i know it's not the "new orleans voodoo", but i do want this team and league to succeed.

KLFY reporting that next game is canceled and will not be played. The team's future is in doubt. Lake Charles mayor chimes in calling the situation a "bullet dodged"

That Soul team fired its entire roster and rounded up some scrubs for the game.
