Not only is the stadium home to the Gulf Coast Challenge which brings in several thousand people to the city but starting this year it will also host the port city classic and the newly announced HBCU Pigskin Showdown.
Drinkard says the games and extra events have brought in big crowds while also turning things around financially.
“Coming into Ladd we had two events which was projecting just under $100,000 so with everything me and my crew have put together I think right now we’re project right at $798,000 for the next 12 months,” added Drinkard.“It really gives us in our community and our culture. They’re opening their arms and giving us something to do. That’s big,” said Whiteshoes.
Drinkard says they plan to add even more events including cook offs and beer and wine festivals. He also says Ladd will be hosting high school football games again this fall.
