Actually may not be a horrible idea depending on what kickbacks they want. Could they play at the River Center?

She could win over all the white people in one fell swoop by bringing back the Kingfish.

Not a bad idea honestly but I think a baseball team would draw more in this area.

So, the St. George Pelicans will be the D- League for NO? Cool

After reading the linked article for you, yes, that's the idea.

Trump : "give him a chance"
SWB: "she's horrible"

Why the hypocrisy ?

BR won't lose any money on it because it's never going to happen.

No one from Baton Rouge is going sit in 100 degree heat and humidity to watch minor league baseball in Baton Rouge where it rains every afternoon.

People don't go to the New Orleans minor league games either.

I don't see a D-League team being a great idea here.

Of the four potential cities, I would think Pensacola is the best bet.

Minor league NBA team? Seriously? Sounds like a great investment.

I agree. Say what you want about Kip Holden, but at least he had a good business head. Broome is clueless. A second rate NBA team? Please.
How is that going to improve the overall quality of life in Baton Rouge? Y'all need to sweep this bitch out of office in a hurry.

Eh, Kip kinda had some delusions of grandeur at times as well.
