What y'all need to do is win a couple CWS's, then the money comes for the new stadium! Our new one is beside the river with the sity scape toward the outfield. It's new, so of coarse it's also in new condition.

As an Alabama fan, I'd prefer not to talk about our baseball stadium. Some high schools in the state have nicer digs than us.

Meh. They've won enough to warrant some serious upgrades. I'm more a believer of you put the money into the facilities to support the winning culture anyway. I think what bothers me is that they were able to find a $7 million dollar donor for a soccer facility (that isn't even fully SEC) but it doesn't always feel like that kind of effort is made for something like baseball when it should be. Just my opinion though.

I've always wondered this about the new Box: did they intentionally leave that space between the tops of the existing suites and the roof to add a second level of suites? I don't know if that's in the master plan, but it would look pretty badass.

You obviously don't know much about LSU baseball.

LSU is the only school in NCAA history to exceed 400,000 in baseball attendance. To put that number in perspective, only two basketball programs in the country...Syracuse and Louisville...have ever had a higher total attendance than LSU baseball.


Are you sure that was not Kentucky? Considering Rupp is bigger than YUM and has set NCAA records since it was built perhaps your source is wrong?

I think of Missouri baseball as the sound of the proverbial tree falling in the forest. Maybe now they are in the SEC they will make a sound.

What's with the shitty 1990's graphics? Get a damn real artist to make it look good.

At first blush, and admittedly only the one pic, it seems the gators' field sucks, especially when you consider how good their teams have been. And not just the past few yrs. The money is there, as it's one of the richest athletic departments in the league. So, why such a seemingly crappy stadium?

SEC Baseball Stadiums are top notch no doubt. A&M's stadium is already better than most in the SEC--if not the best. A&M's and Arky's stadiums are both awesome. I know there are some great stadiums in the East--specifically including USC--but the West wins this battle with relative ease.

Wrong. There is an order. It's LSU then Arkansas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and MSU in no particular order.

I think the Baum is gorgeous and I can't wait to go get loaded in the Hog Pen.

Alex Box is rowdy and very nice.

I was at Ole Miss this year and it would seem that the stadium would get loud being sunk into the ground.

Carolina looks beautiful.

I love Olsen new and the relative ease of drinking in and around the stadium.
