New Orleans has the same crappy weather variables as Miami, has a stadium that is meh by AAA standards, , and has some truly horrific attendance numbers. The teams that end up there do so because they have no other choice and get out at the first opportunity, historically.Amy Adams, AKA Cinnamon MuffLogan Morrison: "If baseball didn't exist, I would probably be ... like a curler.

I'm actually with Todd on this one. The stadium is bad, both the way the stadium is set up and the attendance. I went to a college baseball game back in May that had a better stadium and better attendance that New Orleans.
Now, I admit I don't have much experience with minor league stadiums but I have been to the stadium for the Astros AAA affliate in Round Rock and it is so much nicer than the stadium in New Orleans. And that is in a suburb of Austin.
It's better than the absolutely worthless affliation we had with Albuqurque but there has to be a better option for us than NOLA.

we've now extended with Greensboro
The Greensboro Grasshoppers and Florida Marlins extended their player development contract for two more seasons, the parent Marlins announced.
Greensboro has been an affiliate of the Marlins in the Class A South Atlantic League since 2003. Then, the Greensboro club was called the Greensboro Bats.Originally posted by Madman81Most of the people in the world being dumb is not a requirement for you to be among their ranks.

I don't think we will leave Greensboro or Jax for years. Both very nice stadiums,Greensboro has great fans and we put good products.
The reason we are at NOLA is not anything more than its in great spot. We can play our young prospects there and not have to worry about someone hitting 50 HR or a pitcher have a 8.00 ERA. Plus its a easy flight from NOLA to Miami or Jax.
Jamestown is still a problem however the guys play on 5 months there and we have a good relationship. So its not really a major issue-if a guy is destroying the GCL we can always just send them GBoro like we have done before

Ok...New Orleans has crappy weather variables and bad attendance?
Doesn't that make them the perfect affiliate for us? Aren't the minors to prepare for the majors?
I'd rather we not get a AAA affiliate that outdraws us from time to time, that'd just be embarrassing.
And now comes the part where I quit pretending I give a flying fuck about what our minor league teams attendance is like. Like seriously...who gives a fuck.
