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.

Go Dawgs!! I found the fields (there are four of them) to be of high collegiate training quality. These fields are as fine and top grade as you would find on ANY college campus. I also found those that service and assist at these fields during events to be as friendly, helpful, and just all-around pleasant as any visitor could ever hope for! The fields and facility, are shiny, clean, and very well-maintained. The fields have a certain bounce and sponginess to them, that make you feel like you could go all Odell Beckham Jr. going out for a hard-to-reach pass! The weather was also surprisingly nice during this lovely event, as storms stayed away momentarily, and all things made for such a wonderful, and free evening for Bulldog fans! Hip, hip, hooray for Freedom Fields!! Well done!! Very well done!!

I've been to see The Confederate Railroad, and some other band I don't remember. For Confederate RR…read moreit poured down rain and the tables are reserved so we had to hijack a reserved space to get out of the rain. CRR played through it though and that was awesome. 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 ' .

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!
