I’ve been there a few times and never had a bad experience. It’s not NOLA or Las Vegas but I’d rather go to Shreveport for a bowl game than Little Rock or Tulsa (if they had one).

I can see the issue of flying there though. Shreveport is not an easy place to fly to/from. But DFW and Love Field are just 3 hours away.

I've lived in both Shreveport and Little Rock and I could point you to a MUCH better time in Little Rock but if you were just stumbling into town for the game, you would have a really good time in Shreveport, especially if you like casinos. The riverwalk and casinos are really handy for fan events while Little Rock's Rivermarket is great it isn't as EVENT friendly.

Truth of the matter is there are people who malign Shreveport who you can find going there fairly regularly.

It could be a GREAT G5 bowl because you have so many AAC, CUSA, Sun Belt schools within an easy day's drive.

If someone ever wanted to create a showcase bowl that picked from a pool of G5's
You have five Sun Belt within 7 hours (barely misses being six), five AAC within 7 hours and six CUSA
