Superdump isn't wide enough for a soccer pitch.

OTOH more players can breath close to sea level than at 7000' in Mexico City which is half a mile higher than Denver where hunters from the flat lands die when their hunting vacaions take them higher.

Well yeah, a century ago New Orleans was on par with any other city not named NYC


There have been a few changes in NOLA and the world since 1926.

Were they even given consideration?


New Orleans was ruled out because of lack of a tier 1 or tier 2 soccer team.

I shite on the city all time, but saying NO is a crime ridden city is funny, like NY, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, even Mexico City and other major metropolitan cities that are hosting are crime free…
