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

1. And? Compared to other small markets, Nola is competitive.
2. Yes, they do. Winning would draw even more.
Pels suffer from shite management. Even locals in Nola can’t watch the games without some stupid app.
Why wouldn’t a winning team draw fans from those areas?
No different than other larger metros (geographically speaking).
