Independence Stadium

Independence Stadium is located at the Fairgrounds in Shreveport, Louisiana. Formerly known as State Fair Stadium, it is the site of the annual Independence Bowl post-season college footbal game, initially 1976 the Bicentennial Bowl. Prior to this, it was the home venue of the Shreveport Steamer of the short-lived World Football League (1974-1975).

The stadium is also host to numerous high school football games and soccer matches, since many schools in Shreveport lack an on-campus facility. Independence Stadium hosted the LHSAA state football championships in 2005 after the Louisiana Superdome suffered damage from Hurricane Katrina.

In 1994-1995, Independence Stadium was home to the Shreveport Pirates of the Canadian Football League, which was undergoing US expansion at the time. The team ultimately failed due to low attendance.
