Could an MLS Expansion Team work in New Orleans?

MLS Expansion Team
David Beckham is buying an MLS franchise and placing it in Miami. Now I know there are multiple factors that makes this a good deal, but lets say the price tag is $35 million for a team. Seeing as the MLS is growing rapidly, could New Orleans work?
Is there a big enough soccer following to have an MLS team, as seen the Pelicans struggle in competition with the Saints.

We have a team, the NO Jesters.
The attendance is also awful for those games.

New Orleans has a HUGE soccer following. Problem is I do not see a venue to have the games. on owner would want a stadium with boxes and lots of signage. None are available that i know of.

Does an MLS team work anywhere besides the northwest?

Nope. We have had many reasonable discussions of this on the soccer board.

I'd go. With the hispanuc population, many would be surprised at how popular MLS in nola would be

If they play at Tulane's new Yulman Stadium maybe. The stadium would be perfect but the parking would be an issue. There are more soccer fans in the greater NOLA area than most people realize.

I think an MLS team playing in Tulane's new football stadium would be pretty awesome.

Nothing like boiled crawfish, beer, cajuns, and soccer.
