LSU turns a profit in baseball


Unless you read Arkansas' wikipedia page, then we don't

The total revenue for your baseball team was in the red after last season and has been that way since you renovated the Box. LSU isn't making enough money on baseball sales alone to pay off the debt the baseball program is in. Thus, you aren't turning profit.

I am curious...do you have a link? We have more advertising to pay for that stadium than I care for

I just looked up our profits from the season after we opened the new alex box

Revenue was $9,303,441.00

Profits were $1,847,826.00

Alex Box Stadium ranked No. 70 on Stadium Journey's Top 101 experiences over the past year. The four-year-old venue is the only college baseball stadium to make the list.

So, let me see if we've got this correct...a 21 yr. old pig fan knows everything about LSU baseball finances and comes here to beat his/her chest because he/she is convinced arky makes more baseball $ than LSU...???? Have we got this right?
What on earth is stuck in your craw, jr. ??? LOL

I also question the profitability statement as you can see LSU does indeed sell a lot of ad space in the outfield.

Profitability may be down due to the cost of lighting that big prurple billboard out their in the outfield.

Says the source of that info is this LINK.

Read through it if you want to. I don't have the will nor the want to please LSU rantards. The link seems outdated anyway. Says Alex box only holds 7k. Take it for what it's worth.

ETA: Also at all the attention LSU tards are giving to another Arkansas-related thread. Enjoy the pictures of the better SEC stadium.

Baum is a beautiful stadium...I was actually talking about it last night with a friend of mine.

It's funny now that you joke about it when you get called out for being completely wrong.

At the end of the day...

LSU - 6
Arkansas - 0

very outdated, thats the capcity of the old box

and interestingly enough it also says

But when Bertman arrived in Baton Rouge, LSU's long-dormant program took off, winning 11 SEC championships and five College World Series championships in 18 seasons from 1984 through 2001. This success in Omaha has been a constant source of irritation to the State faithful, who still are waiting for their first national championship trophy in Starkville. These two programs are also among only a handful in college baseball to turn a profit (fellow SEC rivals Ole Miss and Arkansas are others)
