News - N/S ~ "50 CENT" Making Huge Investments In Shreveport, La.

This isn't necessarily Saints or even Football related news As of Today, and the MODS can move it if they want, but after further thought on the subject matter please don't. We don't often get news that could revitalize one of our cities in dire need of it in Louisiana and this appears to be something that could do just that. It would be smart of the Saints to hold a few practices/scrimmages around their market area each year similar to what they have done in the past in other areas of their fan base. A boon to the economy in the Shreveport area could lead to people in that region having a few extra bucks that would allow them to come down and make some Saints home games in person who otherwise couldn't in today's economy. They certainly would have a higher interest if the Saints were to hold a practice up there. Marketing shares in Shreveport that supports the Saints instead of the Cowboys would be a coup and would help regain and retain the fan base statewide. I thought this is worth a share. Some of the renderings in the story look awesome. Watch the video in the attachment. Enjoy.

Shreveport’s film industry is about to transform with this new expansion. And, according to city leaders, 50 Cent is interested in purchasing other properties throughout Shreveport, including Stageworks.

“He is actually looking to exercise and utilize local talent that is here,” Taylor said.” And that local talent can range from business owners to actors or whatever it is that your skillset is.”

50 Cent’s G-Unit Studios is expected to bring jobs, boost tourism and grow the area’s real estate market.
