Boissier City = central, downtown, on-the-river Shreveport,
putting on a game for local Hornets fans.

It was originally scheduled in NOLA. Gotta play somewhere -- they probably had an open date in the Centurytel Center, which just happens to be managed by SMG. That's the same company that manages the New Orleans Arena and the Ford Center in OKC.

Anybody know the date? It might be nice to make a trip down from Dallas to gamble and watch the Spurs if it's a weekend night.

They can't land a 727 there...You sure?

The Shreveport airport's runway is only 150 feet shorter than San Antonio's.

For all intents and purposes, the game's in Shreveport (just outside Shreveport actually).
