Cause at one time the saints were losers and they could relate to the Cubs

I went to a Cubs game at Wrigley last year. Nice but Fenway and Boston have it beat by a large margin. WGN is the answer to the question.

Bc Texas is dumb, and back in the day the braves ted turner commercials were really dumb.

The cubs are the only other team you could watch.

Growing up we didn't have tbs, we had wgn, so I was introduced at a young age to all Chicago sports.

A lot of Yankees fans in NOLA from what I've seen. Especially the older folks (40 plus crowd)

WGN

Add in TBS and that's why there's more braves/cubs fans in Nola than Astros.

Wouldn't they mostly be Astros or Braves fans?

It's not just NOLA, it's everywhere. The reason, as stated many times, is that WGN had the Cubs game after the BOZO show every day during summers.

I remember when we first got cable and watched the Cubs religiously. My first MLB game as an adult was at Wrigley, I live Wrigley field.
