Why should LSU lose money going on the road to a stadium that could be significantly smaller than Alex Box stadium?
Yeah cause Baum's a shithole.

Why wouldn't LSU want to challenge themselves in the early season?

Maybe Arkansas should schedule more home games?

I randomly chose to look at Auburn and Tennessee's baseball schedules in 2011 and Auburn had 35 games and Tenn. had 37. So maybe it isn't LSU that's being a bitch about the padding their attendance. Maybe it's Arkansas that's doing a shite job of making themselves competitive in the oh-so-important baseball attendance race.

2012 College Baseball Home Attendance

(Rank, School, Average, G, Total)
1. LSU, 10736, 44, 472391
2. South Carolina, 7574, 39, 295389
3. Arkansas, 7957, 36, 286472
4. Ole Miss, 7471, 32, 239099
5. Miss. State, 6131, 31, 202340
6. Florida, 3935, 39, 153484
7. Alabama, 3458, 31, 107222
8. Auburn, 2794, 35, 97794
9. Vanderbilt, 2412, 33**, 79605
10. Georgia, 2050, 35, 71767
11. Kentucky, 1963, 34, 66757
12. Tennessee, 1911, 33**, 63084



That's from the venue thread.

Look at how many home games LSU plays compared to the rest of the SEC. and LSU fans in here have said, because the weather is nice/no snow.

So, the weather isn't nice in Florida? Or Ole Miss? Or MSU? You played double digit more home games than OM and MSU, that is ridiculous.

MSU and OM are both top 10 in attendance I believe, with large stadiums, and great weather. They played 12 and 13 fewer home games.

I think LSU just really cares about that record and schedules a shite load of home games so no one will beat them.

That or they like pansy's and don't go on the road vs good teams, I'll have to look at their past OOC's but don't care enough right now, maybe someone else can find their away OOC games the last few years.

Tell Jeff Long to schedule more home games so you can have your baseball attendance dynasty.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU is No. 1 in the final 2012 college baseball attendance rankings, marking the 17th straight season in which the Tigers have led the nation in total attendance.

Since you seem so bent out of shape over something so ridiculous, why don't you remove LSU's "extra" games and see if we still have the highest attendance. I'll venture a guess that we do, so by all means, feel free to whine and cry a little more...isn't that what pigs do? Squeal?

If you take what matters, the per game average, because that number is a fair and equal ratio to judge all teams evenly, we're still kicking your arse by almost 3k.

Maybe I'm missing something but if you use the average attendance at LSU multiplied by the number of home games Arkansas plays you end up with a lot more than Arkansas has for the year.

Still sounds like other schools need to do a better job of scheduling if they want to draw more attendance.

The pig who needs some vagisil probably wouldn't like to hear that LSU's 2012 attendance, adjusted from the 44 actual home games down to 36 (the same number as Arky) to make it "equal," is still 100,000 higher in total attendance than Arky.

It also helps to have the crown jewel of college baseball stadiums like we have with THE BOX.
