If Nola was a bigger city then yes. You have to think about selling tickets. Day games would be hard to sell tickets to

Seriously, you would need at least 10,000 season ticket holders. Season tickets for a major league team usually cost at least $2,000. How many people in New Orleans would have the interest in baseball and the disposable income to plop down $2,000+ for season tickets to a MLB team? I bet it would be a lot less than 10,000 people. Also, New Orleans would have to build a baseball stadium that require public financing. Would the citizens of New Orleans be willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to build a MLB stadium? I sincerely doubt it.
