Shreveport peeps. WTF is up with this new $100 million arena stupidity?

A link would be cool.

That would be even dumber than Atlanta building a new football stadium with the perfectly fine CenturyLink Center. I guess Shreveport is butthurt it's in Bossier City.

We stupid.

I am guessing this is for that Tier 4 basketball team that will fail just like the hockey and baseball teams did?

My Facebook friends are blowing up. Apparently it's not popular.

I read it seats 3,000?

Shreveport/bossier would be better off building a minor league baseball stadium

Shreveport has had minor league everything, and they always fail.

Even the I-Bowl is dying.

This town doesn't support local minor league teams.

This is nothing more than crony capitalism at its worst.

It used to support baseball just fine

And its going to be on Cross Bayou

I dont know why they are so set on fixing that area up. Its between Sams Town casino, the vu and north market, lettuce be real here

I think if Shreveport had built a new field. That was the selling point ar the time.

It could support a team again. Build just north of the boardwalk on the Bossier side

I think they see a lot of tax dollars going to Bossier City and are trying to do something about it. But honestly, they need to fix all the shite wrong with Shreveport before they do something like this.

I would think that Shreveport/Bossier would be a decent minor league baseball town. There's not really any major college sports and it's a decent sized metro.
