Are they trying to make Shreveport even worse?

I went to one or two of those games. I don't know much about hockey, but I remember one of the games I went to we sat on the front row and that was a pretty cool experience. Although I don't really follow the NHL, I would like to go to a game, I am sure it is a lot more intense.

I didn't wanna watch Tim Quarterman play when he was at LSU. Why would I wanna watch him now?

Personally, I dont think they really give a shite about people going to D League games. Its about development. If they get decent facilities at any of these places that's all that really matters.

NBAD League has super low attendance no matter where it is, but owners understand it's d league team is not there to make money but to prep players.

I would think it would be more viable than Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Jackson, or St Tammany. Maybe Baton Rouge would be a wash, but it's definitely better suited than the other three.

Captains, Mudbugs, Mavericks, Battlewings, etc. Shreveport is not a sports town. Anywhere but Shreveport would be better. I think Alexandria or Lafayette would be good places in all honesty.

ETA: From the list Pensacola hands down.


D-League teams don't have to generate a ton of revenue to continue operations, unlike those teams you listed.

Team Sportsplex might be a good option for them then...
