I love this stadium! I always have. Lots of good memories here, although the name has changed. Back in my day, we called this place Caddo Stadium. This place is now named for the former great Captain Shreve High School Head Coach Lee Hedges. This stadium is in the back yard, literally, of Captain Shreve, but it is a community stadium used as a home and away field for several schools in Caddo Parish. I rocked in high school football here back in the mid to late 80’s(Check tape!) And I still enjoy coming to the occasional high school football contest here as a spectator. Little has changed in that time from player to 41-year old spectator, but I like it that way. I like the old east and west entrances, and the old signs that advertise them. The track has been updated, as has the bleacher seating. It has had some upgrades through the years, paint here and there, but the stadium still«feels» the same. And you know, as a spectator really, what’s better than a Friday night, «At the Hedge» with a little football ambience, some cheap concessions, maybe some nuclear-yellow-goop-nacho cheese and some jalapenos on some pretty stale tortilla chips going down your gullet(and at that moment, they are as tasty as anything Superior Bar and Grill or Cantina Laredo could whip up, for real!)…Lee Hedges on a Friday night in the Fall… there is no better entertainment in town! Seriously! Check tape!
