Changes

In the early 1990s, Couhig decided to bring a minor league baseball former  team to New Orleans (which had been without a baseball team since the demise of the former New Orleans Pelicans). He negotiated with the owner of the Zephyrs in [[Denver]], [[Colorado]], to bring the team to New Orleans. He lobbied three governors for a stadium off Airline Highway in Jefferson Parish. In 1995, Couhig put together an investor group to buy the team at an undisclosed price. The new Zephyr Field opened on April 11, 1997, and the team has since been a household name.<ref name=couhigpartners/> ​
