The aliens of Area 51! I'm looking forward to taking in a 51s game when
I'm out there in two weeks for the NAB convention...

They're home. The stadium is in Metairie, west of New Orleans, near the
airport on somewhat higher ground in a suburban area that weathered the
storm much better than the city itself did. Saw a game there a few years
back, too. (In fact, come to think of it, I've seen as many PCL teams at
home as International League teams, the distance notwithstanding!)
