Who is going to the game?

Advertisement
I can't go to the game because I'm overseas, but I just don't know how to feel about those going. For 1 they're showing their support for our team and not the staff, but then again there's no better way of showing that this is unacceptable than by not going. Either way it seems like a lose/lose. I wish everyone going the best and hope you all enjoy tailgating, because if it depends on this garbage staff, it's not gonna be a pretty game.
 
First off wanted to say congrats on going bowling.

Secondly I'm well aware that many of you are not fired up about Shreveport. I've lived here 30 years and at times I'm screaming the same thing. But when I take a step back and look it really isn't that bad if you know where and what to do. I will try and list some things for the average fan to do while in town. if the shoe fits then wear it. If not just trying to help. Feel free to personal message me or just reply and I will help in any way to make Shreveport a somewhat enjoyable trip. FYI I think Shreveport is actually excited about the matchup this year. I would expect the biggest casual fan turn out in INDY bowl history..


Generally there are 3 areas in Shreveport/ bossier where you should familiarize yourself (Downtown area, Louisiana boardwalk, Youree drive area)

Eating: (Casual)
1) Superior Bar and grill.. Great Mexican always packed. Live bands. Best margaritas
2) Oyster Bar.. Little smaller.. Good outside porch area.. Good food (angel oysters)
3) Silver Star Smokehouse.. Great barbecue.. Good looking girls. In bossier.
4) Rotolos.. (Shreveport one).. Great pizza. Sports bar. 5 lb pizza.. Great beer selection
5) Franks.. Speciality pizza. Pretty cool place.. Recommend big hurt and too duckin good
6) Ralph and kacoos.. Good Cajun food. Sports bar area pretty neat.
7) Blind Tiger- many fans will find way here. Great food. LONGISLAND ICED TEAS!!

Little more upscale
1) Earnest.. Great Steak and Seafood..
2) Superior Steakhouse.. Not bar and grill.. Nice ****tail and steak
3) 2 johns.. Good food. Steaks seafood.. Sit at bar from 4-7 first martini is free!

Things to do
1) Great Raft brewery.. Not in great part of town but fun place. Try our beers.
2) Sci port.. For families wanting something entertaining and science stuff
3) Louisiana Boardwalk- great to walk around with family. Ton of restraunts, outlet stores, chain stores for shopping. Really nice and right on the river. Bass pro shop, Hooters, Buffalo Wild Wings, Saltgrass, cheesecake bistro. That type of stuff.
4) Casinos.. Ok here we go. This is why ppl come to Shreveport/Bossier(in order from best to worse)
A. Horseshoe- by far nicest.. Good restraunts.. Biggest game floor.. CMT crossroads bar free to enter always a live local band. Hit or miss
B. El Dorado- great place. Celebrity lounge is where you are going to find your best time in the area. This is where historically most fans end up.
C. Samstown- next door. Always live entertainment out front. When you walk on the actual boat there is always free beer to the right. Young people take advantage. If it's free gimme 3
D. Margaritaville- really nice just not as big. Obviously if gambling I recommend margaritas.. Drinks are free FYI if you are gambling at all of these.
E. Diamond Jacks- save your time
F. Boomtown- Save your time.

Bars/ clubs - All walking distance
1) Celebrity lounge- El dorado Casino
2) Phoenix underground- downtown(club)
3) Stray Cats- downtown bar
4) Sand bar- downtown, beer pong, pool, video games
5) Larry Flynts Hustler Club- downtown.. Above average.

There's no guarantee on any night for any bar. If it sucks then move on. There's several others downtown.. If you get to blind tiger or any other place and it's awesome may wanna ride it out. Shreveport bars in downtown stay open until 6am. With the exception of a few so have at it. If you make your way towards youree drive there are a ton of shopping malls and restraunts. Tried to give y'all non chain but you find just about anything over there. Just google it. As for the game you will probably see a ton of purple and gold. There will be a few idiots that think everyone should chant lsu.. Ignore them. For the most part you will find that everyone is friendly.. Stadium not in nicest part of town. But you will be perfectly fine. If any other questions just reply. Hope y'all decide to come. I think it will be a great game. Good luck.

As an official representative of this site, I'd like to extend our courtesy and thanks to the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce for the post above. :q3XKXeX:


No but seriously, I highly encourage everybody to buy their tickets directly from the South Carolina athletic department, or the secondary market such as StubHub or Ticket Geek. Do not buy any tickets directly from UM, or from any sources that obtain them from UM. Good luck, and we're all counting on you.

No. Dont go. They will find a way to spin that there were plenty of UM fans in the seats. Or just wear South Carolina gear and root for an errant throw to smack F A G right in the temple
