I wish they would have put chairback seats all the way down both lines in the new Box, and i don't mean the bleacher chairbacks. That, along with the suites that need to be added in the next coming years.

I can agree we don't have the best park in the SEC though, but it is very nice. Just a work in progress.

According to THIS YEARS Rivals and Baseball America:

#1-Baum
#2- Box

That's really splitting hairs though.

If I had to say why Baum has a slight edge, it would be the over 10,000 chairbacks while Box is Bleacher Heaven.

Again, splitting hairs.

The 'luxury' edge also goes to Baum with even more indoor suites and chairbacks being added as we speak.

But to say it a 3rd time, we're splitting hairs.

and when the thread is about the best SEC baseball program I'll say LSU, but when the thread is about best ballparks, I'll talk about the best ballparks

Anyone on here, besides LSU fans, will tell you that the inside of the box isnt as nice as at least three other SEC stadiums

Actually in the last thread, a majority of the fans (not LSU) said The Box was nicer than O-U, but they were basically ripped apart because Ole Miss fans wouldn't let anyone have an opinion.

I would agree with this.

My ranking goes:

1-Baum
2-Box/OU/Carolina
3-wgaf.

The Box can take sole possession of 1st if they take the ads down, finish the suites, and replace the bleachers with actual seats.

This. The Box has the most potential, but it should its brand new. The Baum is the best by far.

The last time we had this thread a USC fan put up some pics of their stadium. Could you do this again, because I have a hard time believing its better than the Baum, but havent been there either.


Don't have time to post pics, but here is a link to a panoramic view.

I dont mean to harp just on the Box and dont get me wrong I think it is a good looking stadium and in a few years will be head and shoulders above anyone else in the nation, but do yall like how far down to the ground yall get behind home plate. It might be me, but I think it looks nice to have a big drop off from the bottom seat to the ground.

see....this



looks like shite to me. Way too much open air around the suite areas.

The exterior is immaculate only to be ruined by a crappy inside.

Arkansas will be adding enclosing right field with chairbacks, and extending suites to that area as well within the next few years.

Having been to both, I can honestly say Alex Box is by far much nicer than O-U. I'm not saying I don't like O-U, it just isn't as nice as Ole Miss fans make it out to be.

The Box is much nicer than Oxford-University Stadium.
