With the story about an "international conglomerate" wanting to spend $5 billion to renovate the Louisiana State Fairgrounds, including a new 85,000 seat stadium, 101.7 / 710 KEEL's Robert J Wright and Matt Parker talk about all the plans on the table - legitimate and far fetched - to rebuild Shreveport.

Details on the latest plan from ktbs.com:

"Not only a new arena to replace Shreveport's Independence Stadium. But a $5 billion dollar proposal to redevelop all the fairgrounds.

ASI calls itself a 'global consortium of more than 50 companies in the fields of healthcare, energy, construction and security.' They say they're based in Dubai and have offices in Cairo, Johannesburg, Hong Kong and Houston.
