Major League Baseball in Louisiana? Would it work?

true southern? like the braves?

there's simply not enough people in a concentrated area that can afford the ticket prices and would be able to show up to games 180 days out of the year.

Louisiana would probably provide the most fan support per capita of any other possible baseball market, but there's just not enough capitas.

not really. you don't have to eat or drink and you can find outfield tickets for 20 a pop

Probably not because it's SO expensive to bring a family with regularity to a MLB game.

This, and I feel like at this point so many baseball fans in the state already love one team enough. We don't hav the population to come up with a respectable, consistent crowd

It would be a pretty horrible team if it would have to be relocated

Combine that with no connection to the team, weekday games, and high prices..we would do worse than the Marlins

Professional baseball would be worse than the Pelicans are now.

The City of New Orleans has gone through this song and dance before.

I don't think NOLA has the population or corporate base to support MLB, especially with two other franchises in the city already. That is a sh*t ton of home games every year. If you look at MLB markets they are generally the biggest of any sports league.

Of the existing markets w/o MLB I'd say the ones that would be most likely are Las Vegas (if they could get around the gambling issue), Portland, Charlotte, and Montreal (again). Possibly one of the big mexican cities like Mexico City or Monterrey.

Not no, but hell no.
