I didn't know there was such a thing as a college baseball snob. Funny stuff, really. With the Cards and Royals to choose from, Mizzou will never be a huge fan draw in baseball. Will it get better? yes. The only place it really counts is on the scoreboard and it will take a recruiting cycle for Mizzou to step up to the plate in the SEC. It will happen but MU will be taking their lumps in most sports for a few years.

Actually enjoyed being able to have our kids get that close to the game.

To have that sort of seat at Alex Box would require big time TAF contributions and buying season tickets.

The folks at Missouri were very hospitable. Shuttled us up the hill and were very nice. I can tell that some are still learning the SEC.

To be fair, this is the same conversation had during football season. Missouri is a pro sports state. There is nothing wrong with that, but MU doesn't stand a chance in the SEC if its fan base would choose a Chiefs, Rams, Cards, Royals, etc. game over MU.

Hell even the AA Springfield Cards are hot with their prospects that will be playing in STL this year or next year. Springfield is usually going to the Texas League playoffs, just won the Texas League Championship last season.

Mizzou needs to build a stadium, then dish some money at Missouri State's baseball coach. That man brings in some good in-state talent to Springfield,MO. Plus they play in a nice stadium.
