IDK, but the Saints are extremely regional. There are a lot of people from places like Laplace, Biloxi, the Northshore, and so on. A 40-mile drive feels like about the median.

New Orleans is very parochial. Uptown people have a blind spot with respect to the 'region' but the region exists and supports the Saints.

It's increasingly likely that the regional fans that do go to the game leave the stadium and return to their home towns without spending extra cash in what is becoming a more dangerous city. And more dangerous in places where tourists go.

And if the crime problem continues to go unchecked and the Saints continue to be a mediocre team.... fewer and fewer of them will be driving into Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and the northshore to attend a game at all.

The city needs to stress public safety in those core areas and then branch out to the rest of the city. Right now it's being neglected and people are noticing.
