Changes

In the 1990s, Shreveport had a professional football team, the Shreveport Pirates, from the [[CFL|Canadian Football League]]. The Pirates, like all of the American CFL teams, had folded by 1996.  Shreveport was a potential city to temporarily house the [[NFL]]'s [[New Orleans Saints]] after [[Hurricane Katrina]], but they instead played at [[San Antonio]] and at LSU Stadium in Baton Rouge. The Saints would play the Dallas Cowboys in Shrveport during the 2006 NFL preseason.
