Grambling and Northwestern State is negotiating to play a season-opener in 2006 in Shreveport. The early proposal is that both teams would split the gate for this game. There has also been some talk about making it a double header with McNeese and Southern participating and being involved in a 4 way split (although SU seems to balk at the idea).

Personally, I would like this venue as the annual season opener for Grambling once the 12 game schedule is approved. Nothing personal towards NWST, but I would like to see Grambling playing a variety of schools in this game. My question is this: "How do you feel about your school traveling to Shreveport and playing GSU?" I'm particularly curious about some of the top programs in D1AA... Do you think your fans would be interested in coming to Shreveport and participating in a game that (with the right marketing) could draw anywhere from 35k -45k for an even split of the gate?
