It's a very nice stadium. However, if we don't either change the balls or the bats in college baseball, being a nice stadium doesn't really mean much.


I just got back from Omaha. I watched several games including ones LSU didn't play in. My feeling is that it has nothing to do with the balls--they were common to every team all year and I don't think it was a problem. The trouble lies in teams playing all year in stadiums with one set of dynamics and then advance to the tournament to determine the national championship and play in a stadium with a different dynamic to the point of altering the out come of games. There were several shots that should have been home runs in games having nothing to do with LSU.

Just an observation. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Well my dad went every year from 1991 to 2009 (every year not just when LSU played) and enjoyed the hell out of it. He skipped 2010,2011 and 2012 and made his return this year. He pretty much said he's done with going. Just lost the feel he enjoyed. He said it was rocking as usual when LSU was playing but it just lost some atmosphere somehow. He goes with a group of guys and it was split about 50/50 if they wanted to return next year.

I have gone 3 times and met him up there in various years when LSU was playing. I guess I'll decide again when LSU goes back.
