They are selling out huge venues, bigger than any crowd to ever watch a college baseball game. They are sold out almost constantly.

Is it more popular now than college baseball?

If you are in your early 20's. Probably. If not, no. College baseball is awesome.

Quite obviously yes.

College baseball is BELOW "A-Level" minor league professional baseball.

But I personally prefer college baseball.

Yes, for the novelty it is at the moment for woman, children, and families. I suspect it will pass once the instagram moms move on to something else.

You may need to get out more often.

Not what this board wants to hear, but it obviously is. It is a hard sellout in MLB stadiums across the country. Have to enter a lottery to try to get tickets.

It is a novelty game. Yes they sell out a stadium but would they sell out the same stadium for 30 games like a college team?

It's not even close to the same product. College baseball is... baseball...
Banana ball is a circus with a baseball theme.
