Saints/Pels are regional teams. Yes Nola’s metro is 1.3 million, but when you factor in Baton Rouge, The bayou parishes, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the population is well over 2 million. Economically, this area can compete and exceed many of the other smaller markets in the NFL and NBA
The teams are supported just fine.

1. Still small market
2. Are people coming from BR and MS on a regular basis for Pelicans games? Doubtful. Saints are different.

There aren’t many regional basketball teams that compete with an NFL team well.
People aren’t driving from BR and Bay St. louis regularly on a tuesday night.
