"Dear American Mamas,
I know you both have spent a lot of time in the stands watching your kids' local football teams over the years. But, do you think enough other people will come out and sit in the stand for teams that aren’t from around here to fill the Independence Bowl this year? Just curious." - Listener Submission

Independence Bowl attendance in past years has been low, giving fodder to the complainers and Negative Nancys about town. Of course, those same people are also the first to pitch a fit about Shreveport's reputation! No matter if the teams are from near or far, it's important to show up and support local industry and business. Manifest positivity and city pride by being there with a rallying cry! We spoke to Mama Denise Vinson Arthur about the importance of local involvement on "What Would Mama Do?"
