This is probably the best idea yet. Right in-between the street recreation and restaurants in NOLA and the airport. Plus you get the security of JPSO.
nothing is logistically feasible about not having the stadium downtown tied with the economics of the hotels and the quarter. If its moving out of downtown, its likely moving out the region.
sure, we could build a basketball arena in Mandeville, but the hotels and the economics tied with nola tourism and nba events just doesn't make sense.

Probably. But that's going to happen anyway for the Saints.

Plenty of pro arenas and stadiums well outside of the host city's downtown core.

People coming in from the surrounding area aren't thrilled to go downtown. Only tourists who've never been to New Orleans and the French Quarter care.

This is why Metairie is the only other logical option. It’s still only a few minutes from downtown Nola/French quarter for those who want to go there. Far enough away to avoid crime, close enough to not ruin hotels and restaurants in Nola

I really think the Northshore would get behind a baseball team, but basketball? I seriously doubt it.
