Bossier City hosts bull riding competition
Tate Harris, of Palestine, Texas, finds it difficult to keep up with his ride during the Tuff Hedeman Louisiana Shootout at the Centurylink Center in Bossier City, La., Jan. 12, 2013. In the end, Cody Teel, from Kountze, Texas, won the bull riding event with a score of 90, taking home $14,000 in prize money. The Centurylink Center hosts numerous entertainment and sporting events throughout the year with some offering discounts to military personnel. For a young Barksdale Airman who can’t afford a car payment, a round-trip cab ride to the Centurylink Center is approximately 20 dollars for a safe and exciting night off base. It was listed as one of the Top 100 Venues for Worldwide Ticket Sales for Mid-Year 2012 by Pollstar Magazine. It was ranked 67th in the world and 34th in the United States.
