The only chance for successful attendance would be if the stadium was located somewhere between NO & BR and was easily accessible for Northshore folks too. Don't think we'll ever see it.

Growing up in Hattiesburg, which is a hotbed of baseball talent and fans, I really think NO could do well with a mlb team
NO.. N.O. barely adequately supports it's AAA team.. and is one of the LARGEST cities with a AAA team

No, not with the current population levels in the region. There are more home games in baseball than in football and basketball combined, and already the numbers are against us to be able to support both of those sports.
Also, as another poster has already pointed out, having high attendance numbers for college sports could work against any professional team since there is only a limited amount of sports entertainment dollars to be spent for a given individual and people are already choosing to spend on the college product.
A third thing to consider is that the end of the baseball season coincides with the start of the NFL and college football seasons. End-of-year attendance for a baseball club located here would likely be atrocious.
So, anytime in the near future, the answer is most likely no.
