New Orleans can add 1(MLB, NHL, MLS), what do you choose?

New Orleans higher ups announce the city is looking to add another major sports franchise to the city and asks for input on what sport the residents of the Gulf Region would like to add, what would be your choice?

My first instinct was to say MLB, because it is my favorite sport, but after further thought I realized that LSU baseball fills my needs of a local baseball team, and I've been an Astros fan for too long to switch my allegiance at this point.

So that narrows it down to Soccer or Hockey for me. I think at this point in time, NHL hockey is a slightly superior product to the MLS, even though I have followed soccer more closely over the years of the two. I think the intensity of playoff hockey is ultimately the deciding factor for me in choosing the NHL. I'd love to be more interested in the NHL, and without having a local team, or local (Louisiana) players in the league, it's almost impossible for me to have any more than casual interest.


NHL is the choice for me, interested to hear others thoughts.




Edit: NHL apparently didn't exist in my phones vocabulary, damn autocorrect.
