You won’t need extra parking for minor league soccer

Where everyone else plays in Quener (Kenner)

We have a USL team here (Louisville) and those games are fun AF.
As a former resident Louisville city FC is really the model, imo. Small, new stadium with cool built-in stuff (brewery, etc.) and in a district not far from a ton of other cool things but not right smack downtown, so it's pretty easy to do. It's not a wonder why it's become so popular.
It would require some vision but a City Park/Mid City build out at Tad Gormley would be amazing. There's enough to do around the area that it wouldn't feel like an island, but it would also be a very unique sport experience for the city.
Tad Gormley seats 26k. Knock some of that out and make boxes/nicer seats/etc and convert it into a really nice 15k capacity stadium, add some amenities, and boom we're there.

I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy here, but what's the over/under for how long this lasts before it folds? 3.5 years?
No reason to build yet another outdoor stadium in the area when it's too damned hot and humid in the summer to attract crowds for minor league sports. The Zephyrcakes proved this over the last decade of their existence after the Astros affiliation left. Play in the Superdome for a while to build a fanbase that will be loyal enough to go sit outside on the river in the 95º+ summer weekends.

Probably the new football stadium by the lakefront arena.

Any chance of this being successful?

Width or length? Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.

Yes. It's an absolutely beautiful location. Upgrade the stadium for the 21st century.

I’ll try and be more positive about Nola. My bad.

I was hoping a minor league baseball stadium would be built there.

Let's face it, they're going to name the team some played out Louisiana stereotype and pick some horrid combination of purple/gold/black/green.
Sprinkle on a fleur de lis or swamp animal and its a done deal.
