The area Top Golf would have been is mostly filled with young professionals and close to a lot of tourists

Gov. John Bel Edwards said that the state – meaning the Convention Center board – was going to pull out of the TopGolf plans because the whole thing was “problematic.”

There is an already lengthy thread on the Top Golf / Joe Jaeger situation. The convention center dragged its feet when Jaeger wanted top golf on the river so he went with other plans.
Then the convention center offers a shady back room deal to top golf. Of course Jaeger is pissed, who wouldn’t be.
Jaeger side of the story. His public complaint was :
“Particularly disturbing about this piecemeal approach to development is that the TopGolf proposal eliminates workforce housing from an earlier version of the convention center's plan in place of golf entertainment.”
We should value entertainment over workforce housing. Jaeger is just pissed because they negotiated with Topgolf instead of his preferred Driveshack and his TP property would tank. But he gets what he wants and now they will build a Drive Shack and the city will have to build new infrastructure to get there. And it will still bomb because that location sucks.

A Top Golf in Orleans Parish is an awful idea. It’s a mismatch culturally, put that preppy bro shite in Jefferson Parish.

It makes me wonder how bad the entrance to the new terminal will be. Pretty much the same amount of red lights. Less red lights coming from the BR direction.

Why would someone need to be bribed for him to host a charity golf tournament?

Real question is who is the consultant who was hooking up Topgolf and convention center

Tiger was going to host a Charity event but the City wanted to tax him on all the proceeds they took in.that's why he doesn't play here anymore.

There really is no hope for Louisiana. Best decision I've ever made was to move out of that cesspool.
