This year our athletes are only permitted to bring in 1 sports drink, 1 fruit, and 1 healthy snack for a 12 plus hour day and return the following day to do it all over again. They are wanting the kids to buy from their concession stands. We have never been to a tournament where the kids were not allowed to bring in their own food and drinks needed to fuel their bodies while wrestling. I hope we move to a new venue next year and never return to this one.

For the next event- a band I didn't know and don't remember- I was RIGHT UP FRONT. And the lead singer seemed to take a liking to my friend, so she got special attention. That was fun. For both events the beer was expensive, but not hard to come by. The ticket prices vary by venue but aren't unreasonable. I do recommend this venue if you really want to see 'that band ' .

6/23/18. An outdoor venue that in the past has hosted a…read moremore diverse selection of live, musical entertainment (Ted Nugent, Sebastian Bach, Better Than Ezra...Jamie Lynn Spears!!!), but as of late has skewed more, and maybe more naturally, towards the country music genre. This venue is located on the same compound, and directly adjacent to the BBQ pit, Silver Star Smokehouse & Saloon. It is in the rural realm of Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott's hometown of Haughton, but is still in Bossier City, right off Highway 80 in close proximity also to Harrah's Louisiana Downs horserace track and casino and hotels. The Bossier City Police Department maintains a friendly and welcoming, but heavy presence here during shows. The setup here is amphitheater-style, and actually makes for a quite enjoyable and intimate live music experience. We were situated primarily and relatively in the back of the house, as it were. We could see, and definitely hear the acts just fine. And though, it's the middle of the summer, thankfully, even with all the bodies in attendance, the stage lights, and other various lighting systems overhead, it never got too killin' hot. There are plenty of long beer tubs, iced down and adequately staffed around the area, making it very easy to grab an ice cold tall boy! There is also a two-sided, long bar in a tiny saloon close by, also adequately staffed to mix up your favorite batch of poison. There are beers-a-poppin', drinks being slung, and barbacks running every which way. The place is in motion, and running like a top. This is a solidly-run production. Parking is free, self-service, no valet, and there's plenty of it. There are three clearly-marked parking sections that distinctly go the distance from closest to The Stage, to furthest away. And in that order, they are as follows: Paved asphalt, then Gravel, and then lastly, the lawn (or grass). For Pat Green, last night's phenomenal performance, we parked in the outer reaches of the grass. (Pat Green? Grass?...Green? Grass? Buuuuaaaahahahahaha!!!...C'mon, people!!! Work with me here!!) But even if you park at a distance on the property, the walk is a pleasant and short one to the entrance. Ticket prices are agreeably kind to the ol' wallet, and I would gladly return for another event at this location!

I love this stadium! I always have. Lots of good memories here, although the name has changed. Back…read morein my day, we called this place Caddo Stadium. This place is now named for the former great Captain Shreve High School Head Coach Lee Hedges. This stadium is in the back yard, literally, of Captain Shreve, but it is a community stadium used as a home and away field for several schools in Caddo Parish. I rocked in high school football here back in the mid to late 80's (Check tape!) And I still enjoy coming to the occasional high school football contest here as a spectator. Little has changed in that time from player to 41-year old spectator, but I like it that way. I like the old east and west entrances, and the old signs that advertise them. The track has been updated, as has the bleacher seating. It has had some upgrades through the years, paint here and there, but the stadium still "feels" the same. And you know, as a spectator really, what's better than a Friday night, "At the Hedge" with a little football ambience, some cheap concessions, maybe some nuclear-yellow-goop-nacho cheese and some jalapenos on some pretty stale tortilla chips going down your gullet (and at that moment, they are as tasty as anything Superior Bar and Grill or Cantina Laredo could whip up, for real!)...Lee Hedges on a Friday night in the Fall...there is no better entertainment in town! Seriously! Check tape!

It is a 3,000 seat outdoor stadium with a relatively new synthetic grass surface utilized for both boys and girls sports including football, soccer, and lacrosse, and also involving competitive grade levels anywhere from elementary through high school. Loyola's moniker on the sporting fields and courts is the Flyers. Their mascot is Snoopy. THE actual Snoopy cartoon character as drawn and created by Charles M. Schultz. Shultz gave permission himself, in 1966, for this school to use Snoopy's likeness in promoting its athletic and academic endeavors. It is the only school to this day, and in this giant world to legally have this right to present the beloved beagle as their very own.
