You pretty much get 95 and humidity anywhere up the east coast and Midwest during summer months. Obviously, some days cooler than others. Have you ever been to Wrigley in July or August?

If you think Miami has bad attendance, put a MLB team in New Orleans. That’s comical.
we'd be alright IMO... Miami and NOLA are different regions with different populations in terms of inherent fandom

I would trade the Pelicans for a couple bags of Lay's potato chips and a RC Cola.

I wish NO or Memphis had a NHL team. I'd go see that occasionally. The only NBA game I've ever been to was the Hawks vs. Warriors. Dominique was playing against Mullin, Hardaway, Sprewell, and Webber. Last NBA game I watched on tv was Shaq vs Iverson in the finals whenever that was.

Kingfish games were great fun.

I know New Orleans couldn't support a MLB team. I remember going to MLB exhibition games at the Superdome in the 90's and attendance wasn't that overwhelming. They barely support the AAA team and giving them a dumb-arse name like Baby Cakes doesn't endear them to me very much. I supported the Zephyrs but I just can't put my heart into a team called Baby Cakes.

It's really a shame AD And Cousins are stuck there.

I think the NHL could definitely work here. The Brass were very popular and fun to watch. It's worked in other southern cities that I'm sure people were skeptical about at the time they got them like Miami, Tampa, Nashville, and Raleigh.

Pelican games are a blast to attend

They're something to witness for sure. It took me by surprise how everybody shoots their guns in the air during the touchdowns

I loathe basketball, so I’d trade the pelicans for a new Red Lobster. That one in Metairie is always so crowded.

NASCAR Build the track around downtown. The infieled is downtown and when not racing the city has access to the track as a city loop
