Hirsch Memorial Coliseum tickets — Shreveport, Louisiana

Discover the Historic Hirsch Memorial Coliseum

The Hirsch Memorial Coliseum is more than a multi-purpose arena — it's a historic cornerstone of the Louisiana State Fairgrounds that brings Shreveport together year-round. If you’re looking for Hirsch Memorial Coliseum tickets, you’re heading to a beloved local venue that’s hosted everything from hockey to concerts and community showcases for decades. Set at 3207 Pershing Boulevard in Shreveport, this classic arena delivers big-time energy with local heart.

Opened in 1954, the 10,000-capacity coliseum reflects a classic mid-century design by noted local architect Edward F. Neild Jr. Its large open floor and flexible seating arrangements allow the arena to quickly transform for concerts, ice events, exhibitions, and private functions. That versatility is part of its enduring appeal for fans and event organizers alike.

As home ice for the Shreveport Mudbugs of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), the venue buzzes with action all season long — and Hirsch Memorial Coliseum events also span public skating, figure skating, concerts, agricultural and industrial showcases, and more. It’s an integral part of the Louisiana State Fairgrounds, playing host to fair-related programming and community celebrations throughout the year. Whether it’s a weekend game or a special performance, the arena’s schedule stays lively.

One of the venue’s standout features is its quick-change ice rink capability — the coliseum is known as “George’s Pond” when configured for hockey and skating. That specialized setup supports public skating sessions, Mudbugs home games, and figure skating events, all in a space that can pivot back to concerts or exhibitions as needed. It’s a versatile environment built to meet the moment.

From sports to showcases, the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum keeps the excitement close and the experience approachable. With its rich history, adaptable design, and community-first atmosphere, you’ll find plenty to love — and plenty of reasons to come back.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Hirsch Memorial Coliseum offers seating for approximately 10,000 guests, with a classic arena bowl surrounding the main floor/ice and flexible configurations for concerts, hockey, and special events. The layout adapts to each event, including “George’s Pond” for ice shows and Mudbugs games, plus reconfigurable floor seating for concerts.

• Arena Bowl Sidelines: For hockey and ice events, seats along the sides of the rink offer balanced sightlines and proximity to the action without needing to follow the puck end-to-end.
• Goal-End Seating: Fans who love fast-paced plays and scoring chances often gravitate toward the ends during hockey setups, where you’ll catch power plays and scrums up close.
• Floor Seating (Concert Configuration): When concerts come to the coliseum, the open floor transforms into reserved floor sections — ideal if you want the closest proximity to the stage.
• VIP and Group Party Areas: Private areas are available for rentals, perfect for group outings, celebrations, or corporate gatherings with a more exclusive feel.
• Upper Bowl Corners: A value-friendly option that still provides good views of the full ice or stage, especially during larger Hirsch Memorial Coliseum events.

Use Ticket Purchase' interactive seating chart to view live seat availability, compare prices, and choose the section that fits your experience.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Hirsch Memorial Coliseum

3207 Pershing Boulevard

Shreveport, Louisiana 71109

Located within Shreveport on the Louisiana State Fairgrounds, the arena is easy to reach by car and convenient for local fans and visitors.

• Parking: On-site parking is available and is typically free or included with event admission during State Fair and hockey games. Additional parking may be available in nearby fairgrounds lots.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available; check local SporTran bus routes for service to the State Fairgrounds.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones are typically located near the main entrance during events.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event start time. This gives you a smoother entry, better parking options, and time to explore concessions or merchandise stands, especially when the Mudbugs are at home or the State Fair is in full swing. Cell service is generally reliable, but it can get congested during larger crowds, so download your tickets in advance.

The venue sits on generally flat terrain within the fairgrounds, though you should anticipate some walking from the parking lots to the entrances. If you’re attending during the State Fair or a packed hockey night, leave extra time for traffic around the fairgrounds and for navigating the busiest entry points. Rideshare can shorten your walk — the designated pickup/dropoff zones are close to the main entrance.

Since Hirsch Memorial Coliseum is an indoor venue, weather is rarely a concern once you’re inside. Still, planning ahead goes a long way: check your event details for any special entry notes or time-sensitive promotions, verify your parking location, and decide on a post-event meeting spot with your group to keep everyone together.

Venue Navigation

The coliseum’s classic mid-century arena layout places most seating in a bowl around the central floor or ice, making it straightforward to move between concourses and your section. When configured as George’s Pond, you’ll find the rink at the center with seating wrapped around for clear views across the ice. Ramps are available for accessible entry, and clear signage helps you find your section.

Concession stands serve standard arena fare — snacks, drinks, and quick bites — with merchandise stands open during Shreveport Mudbugs games and select events. ATMs are available on-site during major events, and during the State Fair, you may find additional local food offerings across the surrounding fairgrounds. Comfortable footwear is recommended to navigate the walk from parking and around the arena concourses.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check event-specific guidelines
• Prohibited Items: Check event-specific guidelines
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Expect heavier traffic and larger crowds during the Louisiana State Fair or Shreveport Mudbugs home games; arrive early to secure parking.
• Parking is typically free or included during State Fair and hockey events — confirm details on your event listing to avoid surprises.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by building in time to explore the State Fairgrounds, especially if you’re attending during fair season. The coliseum’s best atmosphere often aligns with the energy of the State Fair or a Mudbugs home game — arriving early lets you settle in, grab concessions, and soak up the buzz before puck drop or showtime.

If you’re coordinating with a group, set a meet-up point near the main entrance or rideshare zone. That simplifies regrouping after scanning in and helps everyone find each other in the crowd. You can also preview the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum seating chart and use Ticket Purchase’s interactive map to choose a central section that keeps your party close.
