Isn't it more like 3.4M for the metro? This would make it smaller than the IE (or the OC plus Northern SD County) either of which would be good locations for expansion. btw, if you put "LA" in the name (e.g., LA Royals) you could get a great cable deal from one of the big boys, and probably Latin and Asian distribution.
If you're saying that Seattle is better than New Orleans, I wouldn't disagree with you; but maybe not enough larger to warrant the cost of a new arena and a relocation. After all, New Orleans fans are pretty rabid as well.
