I agree, I think Lafayette should be a big front-runner. 2 hours down I-10 or 2.5 down Hwy 90. Which brings more of Acadiana in between both Pels and their d-league affiliate in Lafayette. There's a ton of Saints season ticket holders in Lafayette. Pels could really benefit from attracting more people from this area.

Also, the Cajundome just underwent a $20Million complete renovation. It looks like a professional arena now. Not the Cajundome of old. And the Icegators are no longer a thing, bring in NBAD, and I think it generates a big buzz.

The Cajun Dome looks great now


+ I feel the Pels fanbase here is severely lacking. I've mentioned it in other threads, but you can hardly find any Pels gear here. I see some people wearing shirts aorund town, but it's nothing close to how often you see Saints gear. I understand the Saints are insanely popular here, but the Pels could become very popular as well.
