What's the Latest Arena News?

101.7 / 710 KEEL's Robert J Wright and Greg Atoms talk about the latest news on Mayor Tyler's arena proposal, including the public opposition of Caddo Commission President Steven Jackson and backing by Fox Sports and Shreveport native Tim Brando.

Jackson, as are many, is concerned that the jobs created by the arena and retail complex will be minimal and low paying. Brando, in a "rah-rah" video appearance on the official website, appeals to Shreveport's civic pride and says it's time to cast aside our negative attitude toward our town and its potential.
