HUGE crowd at the Dude today

[WeWillScrewItUp]

Watching Arky and A&M on ESPNU and the announcer that called the game Thursday night is still raving about the Left Field Lounges. Also they said we had an announced attendance of 14,563 I think is what it was.

Do you guys think we'll match or surpass today's attendance if we host a regional? Spring game today certainly helped our attendance

I believe we get close to matching it if we host. If we surpass it I hope we blow it clear out of the water and set a new record.

I was there in 89 and there on the saturday super in 07. I think it is semantics. they could get 20k in there if they would let us. There really is no room when it comes to concessions or bathrooms. Our facility is there to service around 4k.

that said, our crowds took a dive when they stopped the saturday double headers. The sunday game killed our attendance and it has been downhill for the last 20 years or so. We still are a sleeping giant and getting back but we need a championship and a few top 5 years in a row.

We will match and surpass if we host. Stricklin will need to get creative to support the number of people that actually want to be in there for that game -- I'm talking temp concessions and restrooms AT LEAST.

We are going to pack the joint the next 2 home weekends too IMO(by pack, I mean 10k paid or thereabouts) -- Alabama series is always pretty big(especially if we somehow manage to win the Vandy series) and the South Carolina series against the 3-time national championship series team -- hopefully to lock up a host site and potentially a national seed -- will be huge.

If we host, it'll be absolutely insanity...

Attendance for hosting might be a record setter. The fans are definitely more excited about this team than they were about the 2007 team.

[WeWillScrewItUp]

Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't today's attendance move us into all top 10 attendance spots for NCAA Baseball.

07 was weird. It was almost like....we are undefeated but we know we suck. Kind of like croom in 08 or mullenz last year. Just watching the teams, you knew we werent good.

06 was the undefeated yet sorry team.

It was 06 that we were undefeated and the wheels came off in the SEC season...

07 we were actually pretty good but inconsistent throughout the year. Went 2 and out in the SEC tourney but played well -- Jeffrey Rea gave a great news conference speech -- and we caught fire in Tallahassee.

07 would PALE in comparison to this year if we can get it done -- especially if we could be a national seed. Difference is that everyone knows this year that we would actually belong -- we wouldn't be there because of luck on a wing and a prayer...

Today almost set the all time record. If we do host this year, Katie bar the door.

I agree Engie there has got to be multiple bathrooms and concessions in the outfield. We should make a full effort to DESTROY the record if we host. I'm talking break that mother****er where nobody else can come within 5K of touching us. Cement ourselves at the top.

I agree. We could legitimately set a new record and then break it win a week or two if we can get a National seed and host a Super Regional. Damn I hope this team keeps it's foot on the gas pedal. It could be a fun couple of months coming up.

Does the lack of pitching depth concern you any right now? I mean, we have it, we just don't use it.

[Will James]

Meh, we're winning while having 2 MLB arms on the bench. They are our wild card for sure in a Omaha format. Especially Woodruff. Just sucks having two head cases of their caliber with the team we got.

Pitching depth is a concern but like you said we have it, we just don't use it. I did like Fitts yesterday. Hopefully another guy or 2 can step up and we start seeing a couple more pitchers take the mound and do well on a consistent basis.

If only we could put pollo's heart in their bodies.

[RTO Dawg]

thought I heard 14,552 someone on the truck said 3rd largest crowd..

[engie]

2nd largest!

Boy are we ever. Yesterday showed that. Cohen still has room to improve, and he's doing so. The three day weekend will be hard to overcome, Saturday doubleheaders made it worth the trip from Jackson.
