Getting attendees to Bayou Cane
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is 63 km (39 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
The city runs on Chicago time (America/Chicago). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Kenner, Metairie and New Orleans are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Bayou Cane has nothing free on your dates.
