WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
What is the proposed development?
In Fall of 2022 REV Entertainment entered into a cooperative relationship with the City of Shreveport to bring baseball back to Shreveport.
The partnership includes new development in the Shreveport Fairgrounds area, including a ballpark to serve as the home for an independent baseball team.
REV Entertainment and the City of Shreveport are currently developing a master plan for the area, including the future site of the ballpark. The development of this project is being done in collaboration with The State Fair of Louisiana, Independence Bowl, the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum, the Shreveport Mudbugs, and the Queensborough Neighborhood Association.
What is the current status?
We are currently in the design phase of the project. We are reviewing the best plans for the Fairgrounds, and deciding what pieces of the development should be part of phase 1.
At the same time, the City is working with the city to clarify all financial options. This includes working with a third-party accounting firm that is working to provide a feasibility study and economic impact survey. Both pieces will be vital to the success of the project.
