Louisiana Grandstand — Attraction in Shreveport

I was WOW'd on several counts!

First, the caliber of talent was SUPERB and worth waaaayyyyyy more than the $15 I paid for a VIP ticket. I swear I feel like I owe the artist and the venue more money. Thankfully, donations are accepted and definitely should be given! Artist: Colby Acuff!!! (7/29/23)

Louisiana Grandstand is AMAZING!!! Appropriately named! I'm an admirer of architecture and this place is impressive! It's a vintage space in pristine condition! Nicely designed, decorated, and very well maintained. A small venue, only 400 seats (love that!), but there's even more to it. There's a lovely lounge with tables of 4 that seats about 50 people that's so inviting. Food and drinks are avaliable at some events. You can even rent the space for private events!

Owner & talent scout, Will (?), is very personable and more people need to know about this gem of a venue and him! He's got something really special going here that I hope more people will learn about, share, and support. Do not let this one get away, Louisiana!

I cannot fail to mention Corporal J. Tilley who was on site for security. Not really needed from what I could see: this place is classy and the patrons are respectable and respectful. But I guess security is nice to have at any live event, if for nothing more than to make guests feel comfortaable and reassured. I don't believe I have ever met a more friendly or personable law enforcement officer. I would have taken a picture with him too if it were allowed (I tried). We conversed quite a bit and he even offered to take photos of and for me. What a nice man and a pleasure to talk to.

The receptionist with the beautiful blue eyes was also very pleasant and welcoming.

Thanks for a...

My wife and I traveled from California to Shreveport to see Marc Broussard last month. The venue was spectacular and had loads of history. Will the manager was very kind to us. We arrived very early and it was a very hot and humid day. He opened up the doors just a little bit early to let us in out of the heat. From the staff to the artists to the venue it was a spectacular event. They were all very kind to us and welcomed us as if we weren’t from California. We were able to get tickets the next night (Thanks Will) to see Dillon Carmichael and it was not a disappointment at all. I’m glad we changed our plans. This will be a destination in the...

Definitely a “one and never again” … by quaint and charming they mean old and cramped. NOT a place to go if you are mobility-challenged or have hip or back Problems. All the seats are hard wooden seats crowded closer than airline economy. People constantly getting up to go out for more drinks or whatever, and everyone in the row has to constantly get up and move to the aisle so they can get in or out. Can’t believe a place like this passes fire code for...
