New Orleans has always had an unofficial mascot in Bailey the dog. Bailey has been a mainstay around the arena since the inauguration of the Specters. While the morale has always been good, you best believe when Bailey wonders into the locker room, everyone’s moods go through the roof. You may be asking yourself, that is a long time for a dog to be alive, and you would be right. At this point, Bailey is a ghost. Helps that we are a spooky team to embrace the ghost dog. Since it is a ghost, there is no need to feed, water, or really anything else related to care. Our local witch doctors are trying to make it so we can actually pet him, but so far tests have been negative. During home games, Bailey can be seen in a couple different places. Sometimes when a goal is scored Bailey will bark in the rafters! All in all, Bailey has been a wonderful addition to the team.
