Shreveport’s History of Football Teams

Bossier City Battle Wings

The Bossier City Battle Wings, another Shreveport-Bossier indoor football team, launched in 2001. The league folded in 2009, leaving the community void of another team. The Battle Wings played at what was then the Centurylink Center, now called the Brookshire Grocery Arena.

Centenary College Football

Centenary College of Louisiana recently announced they’ve formed a football team as well. In a landmark moment for Centenary athletics, the administration shared the team was the first in more than 50 years. Official season games are set to begin in the Fall of 2024.
