I know exactly what you mean.

A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to catch a Braves game when I was in Atlanta. It was great, a real 'big-time' feel to it. The fans were really into it and the stadium itself was all 'no nonsense'. The fans were quite knowledgeable about the game, and a real pleasure to talk baseball with.

But personally I prefer the more laid back, down home feel of Zephyr Field in New Orleans to catch a game. You can picnic on the berm, or get a group together and just chill with your friends and a beverage in the pool. It's good to have one person keeping their eyes on the game though, in case of foul balls.

The Box felt to me more like a job than something someone would do for fun. Although I had a great time, it seemed like the LSU fans were showing up for "work" to cheer for LSU.

I am sorry but this made absolutely no sense and IMO discredits the entire post.

I dont care what stadium we are talking about but people going to baseball games has nothing to do with work, unless they are paid to do something with the field or stadium.

What I gathered the OP was trying to say is that the Box is louder and more rowdy than Baum. But what the OP doesn't understand is that LSU fans are naturally like that. Its not "work" to us.

Maybe for Arky fans cheering for your team is work?
