Came in early early in the morning to NOLA one time because of delay. We had circle because no one was at the airport to turn on the lights.
I'm pretty sure there is someone at MSY 24/7. NEW must have someone there, remote lighting, or lights on step 3 all night.
Most of the time the passengers don't know the real reason for their delay. Sometimes the pilots don't know or have been lied to. It's still a very safe operation though.
ETA: wildlife on the runway is a very legit threat especially at smaller airports

A couple weeks ago flying from MSY to Houston on United, we were told that there was a ground stop in Houston and we would have a 35 minute delay due to weather. I checked the radar in Houston from my phone and didn't see any weather. So I twitted FAA and IAH and asked if there was a ground stop. "No all clear" was the response. I showed this to the mean arse old women working the desk at the gate and asked what the real problem was. She told me the pilot was late and asked me not to tell anyone.
