Tucked into this student article about concession prices at Baum:

Baseball has been a revenue sport at Arkansas.
As I imagine it also is at LSU and South Carolina.

I remember taking that survey. They actually did what the fans wanted, nice.

Concession prices will be cheaper because of fan feedback last season, according to the Arkansas athletics website. Popular items, such as fountain drinks, Gatorade, hot dogs, bratwursts, nachos, pretzels, chips, Cracker Jack and popcorn, will be cut by $1.

LSU earns about $2 million/year and they're definitely not cutting concessions prices.

I hope he gets utterly humiliated in his presidency run. I mean just absolutely obliterated, first one out of the race, finishing behind the wackiest Tea Party candidate embarrassed.

He was asked recently how much it cost to attend LSU. A small part of his brain did explode. He had no idea.
He is the stupidest a-hole we've ever elected in Louisiana.

And emptied his war chest so he can never run for office again.

A&M baseball makes a little money, but not much. It's more or less a break even deal.

Sorry to hijack your baseball thread, Jindal just brings out the redass in many of us. Awesome about the concessions too

He stated that the cost was below 10,000 & that LSU's tuition is among the cheapest in the SEC (which is correct). Especially for students who qualify for TOPS

quote:Technically, it's more than that small profit. It's difficult to parse out the SEC Network contract that would be attributed to carrying SEC baseball games but it's there. So, it's figured into the overall portion of the revenue that is shared each Summer amongst all of the schools but whatever that number is, it is not accounted for in this article (unless I missed it). I would be shocked if baseball was not a revenue sport at the home of college baseball (Dudy Noble Field).
