I know we were matched up against them earlier in the year in a super regional but the new D1baseball predications just came out with MSU as the #5 Seed (USC and FSU are 7-8 and most vulnerably fyi)
We would have (2)ULL , (3)Wake Forest, (4) Alabama St.
USM would have (2)Ok State, (3) USA, (4)VCU.
Would a USM series draw a crowd to break the record?
It very well could. I'm not really sure what they average on their home attendance but I would think it could get close to the record. Having said that didn't the mustard buzzards just have an ace pitcher go down with an injury? Going to be a tough road ahead if so.
I doubt the record would fall with the students out of town.
I did wonder when I saw the temporary bleachers installed for the SEC softball tournament if bringing in some of those would be feasible for a regional/super/super bulldog weekend. When we draw record crowds, a bunch of the SRO folks can't even see the field.
I think we'll break the record no matter who we play in a super.

If we host it won't matter who we play. We will sell every ticket we are allowed to sell.
If we host a super we will break the record one of the games.
The largest crowd ever at a game was the super against Clemson. I don't give a rats ass what they announced the attendance as. That crowd was suffocating it was so big. And yes, bigger than game against rebels last year, too me
At the Saturday game during SBW, there were at least 7-800 (probably more) folks watching the game on the jumbotron behind the 3rd base line bleachers. There were no places you could even stand and see the game live.
I was there and stood next to the fence in front of the 1st base bleachers. There was not a single foot of wiggle room behind the gates anywhere in Dudy Noble.Quote:

I was standing right next to Elliott who was one of the first people over the fence waving his flag all the wall to the mound when we won.. I watched for a few seconds to make sure he didnt get tackled and then followed suit..Quote:

I mean there really is a point where you can't squeeze anymore in the outfield.. I would say we are close..we are way past the point of being out there and having a good viewing angle.
Considering USM only has like a dozen or so fans, I don't think their fan base will help set any records....
We should break the record by 10 fans
We have as many in the left field then they do their entire stadium.Quote:
