It's hard to get people to go sit at a minor league baseball game in the heat of summer


The Mississippi Braves draw decent crowds in the summer and the heat in New Orleans and Jackson Ms are about the same. The difference is probably that the M-Braves are a Braves affiliate and Ms is full of Braves fans. Having no affiliation to a popular MLB team hurt the Zephyrs.

M-Braves also have a much smaller stadium, which helps.

Shrine's just too darn big for a minor-league baseball stadium these days.
