Shreveport Convention Center Losses More Than Expected

[rhertz]

Ya know, if they had built the Convention center and Hotel in south Shreveport (right next to Holmes Honda for instance), and filled it with merchandise and food, then maybe it would be a better success. Likewise if the convention center was more like CenturyTel in nature, but with a hotel attached, then maybe we could out-do Bossier for once. But no, we had to build it in a high crime area a mile south of a stink rendering plant. Why? So we can host the lawn and garden and gun and knife and boat shows?

I say convert the whole thing to a sports and concert arena and bring in a Shreveport team of some sort. (after capping the lid on that stink plant)
