Thoughts:

LSU just sells some serious baseball tickets. If we say the avg ticket costs $10. That means LSU has brought in 3x as much as Florida in ticket sales revenue through this point of the season. This is not factoring in suites or anything like that.

Obviously an outlier year for MSU. I'll be interested in what their attendance will be next year.

I think Arkansas's early season hurts their avg. I bet if you look at the last month it'll be closer to LSU then USC.

A&M could be so much higher if they changed the ballpark. We have 5,400 seats (I think). 2 sections are saved for general admission. Visitor sections are required (actual seats). We sell out season tickets, but in reality, it only accounts for ~3k in attendance. The remaining 3k (or more) has to be visitors (returned and resold later) or general admission tickets which usually means sitting on grass unless you get there when the gates open or it's a weak match up. Turn those berm seats in chair backs, sell season tickets, and add new berms in the OF (home run area) and A&M's attendance will jump to 6-7k easily and top 10k for big games.

Outside of MSU, UK & UF will be getting new parks. They should both shoot up the rankings I would guess.

Did Bama build way too big of a ballpark? How much of that 8,500 is actual seating?

LOL MU. Thru 18 games your total attendance is still less than what LSU averages.
