Interesting stat from yesterday's game....

:popcern:

Simmons Field holds right over 3,000 fans, but only 1,263 were in attendance Friday. That's the smallest SEC crowd LSU has played in front of since only 548 were at Hagan Stadium in Lexington on May 9, 2004.

There was quite a bit of purple & gold on display.

I wouldn't show up to see my team play against the #2 team in the country. They probably expected Mizzou to get drilled 10-1 or some shite like that. Mizzou is actually playing better than I thought. 2-0 against Mizzou, wow.

Haven't looked at the schedule but if y'all play in Athens this year, UGA might eclipse that record for the smallest crowd...

So LSU brought 1,200 and the Tigers had 63 show up?

What you don't get is that last night's attendance will likely be in the top 10 for the year at Taylor Stadium.
Given the cool weather and it being Spring Break (few students around), the only reason the crowd was that good was because we were playing LSU.
The 2012 average attendance was around 800+.
The poor attendance is due to weather, due to a history of really poor promotion and advertising,and a history of being a team that's not bad but not usually a conference-leading team either (in any conference).
The promotion is improving somewhat. It will take time and money to improve facilities and to improve the team performance. The weather we can't do anything about.

If the country cared half as much about college baseball as the Rant, it'd be a top 10 sport.
But they don't. And it's not. Carry on.

I think there were more people watching at Justin's house then there was attendees at the game.

What is with all this 'popcorn'?
Are you all really thinking this subject is fascinating enough to sit back with a snack
Mizzou doesn't get baseball support, maybe you're new on the rant, but that's been established and we don't really care.
We have no shame in our football or basketball attendance, but when it comes to baseball STL people are goin to Cardinal games and KC people might choose to suffer through a Royals game.
Sorry your states don't have MLB... really, it must kinda suck.

About 1260 were LSU Tiger fans.

It's college baseball who cares

I have never and will never get this board's obsession with college baseball attendance. Why do some of you care so much? You don't see football or basketball attendance threads very often, and those never turn into the dick measuring contests baseball attendance threads inevitably become.
