Who the F is this? Seriously, what school is this?

No such college as "Louisiana" actually exists in reality.

Yall talking about Northeast Louisiana Junior College at Monroe, Southeast Louisiana Junior College at Hammond, Northwest Louisiana Junior College at Natchitoches or Southwest Louisiana Junior College at Lafayette?

It is located in Lafayette. It is called the Flagship...University of Louisiana.


Please don't confuse it with a school in Baton Rouge...Louisiana state university A&M College.
Students of this school are also called Aggies because they are A&M College of Louisiana.

Baseball Attendance
LSU should announce actual along with paid because they always sell many tickets but some sparse attended games this year.




Why should we? No other school ever does this? We were the first school to ever announce both serval years ago but it was pointless because no other school would do it so it was never a fair comparison. If any other school ever did this then sure we would.

c'mon dude. Like I said, take away the last four years when talking about the royals fan base.

Im not trying to be a dbag towards kc folks, hell you guys are like the goats when it comes to nfl support. but it did start to get real annoying in como when kc baseball fans came out of nowhere. You kow whats also odd, now every time i go back to como I dont see any royals stuff. interesting.

Our attendance is a reflection of the quality of our baseball teams or vice versus depending on your perspective.

What are your thoughts on A&M's attendance numbers? They seem low, but not sure how many your stadium holds.



Our renovation completed in 2012 (during the Big XII days) reduced the actual number of seats from 7500 (5000 in the grandstand and 2500 bleachers) to around 4500 (all in the grandstand). Anything above that constitutes folks sitting on the berms. We sell something like 3500 season tickets, which is all we can do without eliminating the small GA seating in the grandstand (also have to hold back some tickets for visiting player comps, and regional visitor seat tickets). We are going to do another renovation in the next couple of years will will probably bump the number of seats up a little, something like 1000, but we still won't have the ability to shoehorn in 10k, so we're not going to be in the running for the attendance lead.

Some schools do but all the NCAA tracks for the purposes of the numbers in the OP is paid attendance, just like every other sport. Regardless, I don't see how that matters. The paid attendance really just shows how many people invest in the program. Whether they make it to the game or not isn't entirely relevant.

Actually none of the schools in the University of Louisiana system are classified as flagship universities. As to the name "Unversity of Louisiana," that name is owned by the school who once was the University of Louisiana, Tulane.

Where did you get these stats? I can only assume that they aren't using Arkansas' paid attendance #'s. Arkansas is closer to 8500 if you factor paid attendance only.

Why does this always bother LSU fans? You shouldn't care about anything ULL does.

Thanks for the reply. The pictures I saw at the time of your renovation looked very nice, but didn't know that they reduced the number of available seats. How many seats do you think you could sell if they could add as many as you wanted? Just curious...
