Why does Louisiana not have a MLB team?

With as much passion the state has for baseball and any sport really, you would think they would have one.
If the saints could survive being terrible for so long, then I know a baseball team could make it.
Wish yall had one. I would be a fan.

NOLA isn't big enough to support three pro teams... and there's no where else in the state to put a team.

Good question, I feel like it's been brought up many of times.
I'd love to go to games

Can't support the Pelicans
No way we can support an expansion team, or a team shitty enough to relocate.

Good Question! MLB is the only sport where coon asses disagree. Very diverse fans

The braves provide more than enough disappointment for the majority of the south to endure.

because MLB has already determined that the product would not do well in Louisiana.

If the World Series ended at the end of August you might have a case. Once football season starts there's not much interest in baseball in Sept and October. Football is KING sport in Louisiana. The only baseball passion here is in Baton Rouge and it's predominantly a college town and LSU baseball is where it is at because of the level of success Skip brought to the program. I honestly don't think there's enough interest in pro baseball here to support a franchise.

NOLA tried to get the A's back in the late 70's didn't work out

NOLA has a pretty good amount of MLB fans. The problem is most of them wouldn't switch their allegiances just because NOLA had a team.

MLB would be much more popular if they only played 20-30 games a year, and their season didn't overlap with football season. When they play these 100 game schedules it causes inflation of baseball games, and each one becomes less valuable. I have found it hard to keep up with because they play on so many different nights, and there are so many games. If they only played games on Sunday with maybe a Thursday or Monday night game, and it was a 20-30 game schedule, then I would probably become a fan.

NOLA isn't big enough to support that many pro sports teams.
Plus the MLB doesn't need to expand. It's good right now. frick expansion.

I'd support a baseball team before NBA

NOLA is an "event" based town. That's why 8 home football games have always done well even when the team is bad. It feels like a big deal every time.
With basketball this is numbed a great deal and although they team is making it work it has been a struggle with 42 games on the docket. With baseball it would be ridiculous.
