b'Running a sports business in New Orleans comes with a number of unique challenges. Ask the Voodoo, the Jazz, or for many years the struggling Saints. On the other hand, the New Orleans Zephyrs seem to have found a winning formula. Winning enough for a new ownership to take over the team and unveil plans for an optimistic future. The team s new Assistant General Manager, Donna Light, is Peter s guest on this edition of Out to Lunch. Mark Olalde is Director of Operations for the recently unveiled Xtreme Xperience NOLA. Xtreme Xperience allows anyone with a drivers licence to get in a high performance race car and race around a professional car race track in Avondale. Peter s talking talking New Orleans baseball and New Orleans motor racing. Photos in the wine room at Commander s Palace by Alison Moon.
