re: MLS in New Orleans, the logistics of it

Lucky, I agree with you on most of your post.
I've been to Jester's matches, it's flippin' hot and humid even at 7:00 p.m. IF MLS adopted the "rest-of-the-world" football schedule it might be bearable, but April to November? Would be difficult.

The Jesters draw about 1,000 people per match, or they did a couple years ago when I went. I haven't been in two seasons, there's no promotion of them.

Leave Tad Gormley alone. Way too much history there, it's a great place, especially for high-school football. There has been talk of taking out the track to widen the pitch to FIFA standard. I love soccer, but this is over the top, Coach Gormley was a track man, and football coach second. Leave it alone.

Really needs to be somewhere without football lines.

The Mardi Gras World idea is a really good idea, it's why Mr. Benson pitched a stadium idea there, as well. Tulane would be a great idea, but we all know Garber wants SSS for all franchises. He's willing to go along with Sounders due to the attendance and atmosphere.

We'll never get a sniff for a few decades, yet, we HAVE to consistently support Jesters, or whatever else is here first. Don't forget TV. Is our TV market big enough and interested enough?
