Shreveport, also known as where you don't want your bowl game to be held.
It's almost as if USAV is flat-broke and will take whatever Shreveport offers in their incentive package.

like not even trying to be ignorant or whatever, but I’ve lived in America my whole life and never heard of Shreveport-Bossier until they hosted IOQT, even in passing. there better be some serious discounts on tickets is all i’m saying. same like what even is it? Is it in the middle of a swamp? Lmao

Philippines should be fun though. They probably have more USA fans than we do in America.

VolleyballMag anyone you know you could ask about the hosting process/decision making? (kidding, well slightly ) Well, at least it's less than a four-hour drive for me to Shreveport. And I believe this to be true, didn't the USA women clinch their Olympics berth in Shreveport?
