Watch them put it somewhere way too close to the city like Hammond or Covington.

There's no place to build an arena in Covington.

I'd love it personally because I live in Covington and would go to damn near every game, but there's no way that's happening.

Lafayette, Hammond, LC, even Shreveport, Bossier or Monroe make more sense.

Eta: I also see the Mississippi and Alabama cities as good options for generating fam interest in the Pels.

I personally wouldn't go to games in MS or AL just because those states have mandates for police to pull over every Louisian driver and ticket them for any bullshite offense, knowing that paying the fine is more convenient than spending a day in court fighting it.

You'd be shocked to learn how much of their government revenue comes from fabricated traffic offenses from residents of other states.

MS is much worse than AL, but you have to go through MS to get to AL.

That said, Saint Tammany Parish president Pat Brister is corrupt AF, and if she has some ownership in whatever company builds the arena I could see her doing anything she could (tax incentives, etc.) to get the team in Saint Tammany.
