The Red River State Fair Classic (formerly the State Fair Classic and the Shreveport Classic) is an American college football game played annually in Shreveport, Louisiana at Independence Stadium (formerly State Fair Stadium) during the State Fair of Louisiana.[7][8]
The fair began in 1906,[9] and attempts were made immediately to schedule a football game as a draw, specifically a game between Louisiana State University and the Shreveport Athletic Club.[10] Although plans for that game fell through, the fair did begin hosting college football games regularly starting in 1911. The annual Arkansas–LSU game was made its main draw[11] shortly afterward, much like the Red River Showdown game was headlining Texas' state fair games in Dallas. The 1924 game featured a silver football trophy as part of the dedication ceremonies for the new State Fair Stadium.[12] After LSU won for the seventh straight time in 1936, that series was discontinued, and nearby schools Louisiana Tech and Northwestern State began playing in the featured game. When Louisiana Tech began efforts in the late 1980s to move into the NCAA's Division I-A, NSU began playing Louisiana-Monroe in the game.
In the past sometimes as many as four college games were played over the course of a single fair.[13] These games tended to include schools from the Arklatexoma area. The hometown school, Centenary, hosted numerous games over the years. Southwestern Athletic Conference schools (usually Southern or Grambling and Bishop or Wiley) often played on Mondays, in conjunction with the fair's "Negro Day,"[14] although the 1961 game was overshadowed by a boycott by the Congress of Racial Equality in an effort to encourage improved integration at the fair[15] (despite a modern source that lists the 1962 game as also having been played in Shreveport,[16] the October 21, 1962 issue of the Shreveport Times confirms that the game was indeed moved back to an on-campus venue, this time in Prairie View, Texas). There was considerable cross-over between SWAC teams that played in Louisiana's State Fair Classic and Texas' State Fair Classic. High school teams and college freshman teams were also known to compete at the fair in its earlier years,[17] and in 1934 and 1945 military teams were extended invitations to play; during World War II many colleges—including State Fair Classic regulars Centenary, Louisiana Tech, NSU, and Southern—had to discontinue football, while the service teams that appeared in their place helped fill in the gaps on active college teams' schedules and were included in the Associated Press' college football rankings and bowl games as well.
In recent years the fair has experimented by hosting Louisiana College's revived football program as well as by pairing out-of-state SWAC schools. Grambling, which had previously hosted an annual early-season game in Independence Stadium known as the Red River Classic,[18] began hosting the fair's newly-christened Red River State Fair Classic in 2015. By having first paired black schools in 1922, the game holds the distinction of being the oldest annual black college football classic.
