SHREVEPORT, La. – Fair Grounds Fields’ days are numbered.
Is it time to demolish this once-beloved sports venue? Oh, the memories. If I stumbled upon a time machine, one of my very many locations on my to-do list would be Fair Grounds Field. As a kid growing up in the 90's in Shreveport, there was absolutely nothing like going to a baseball game at Fair Grounds Field. Sure, it wasn't the MLB, but it sure did feel like it. Thousands of fans packed the arena every time their MLB-affiliated Shreveport Captains took the field. Several future MLB stars played in Shreveport for the Captains including Joe Nathan, Dan Gladden, and Tony Peña to name a few.
