Yup. Wish we had a party atmosphere at The Box. Too many old people these days.

True. They should let students bring beer into the outfield bleachers

it's definitely louder. We'd be just as loud if we had a student section setup like theirs.

I've been bitching about this on the board for quite some time

Besides post season and a friday night game here or there, Coon's corner is no more. And when they do show up, it's pretty pathetic. Not enough students go either way. I'm not afraid to say it, I'm very jealous of the atmosphere Ole Miss consistently brings out.

Berm + alcohol. My season tickets are in RF but I'd give them up to have berm seating out there.

I've started doing what I do at basketball games and just sit in open seats. I'd much rather sit right behind the bullpen than up in coon's corner

IMO, (for the most part) I find our baseball fans to have more of a hoity toity aura to them. Not very intimidating at all

I went to Oxford for the LSU/Ole Miss series and had a blast. Different experience

Aren't adding more suites priority one?

Before we add suites, I want the entire stadium to be chairback and the students have their own section like ole miss. also fix up the entire outfield area.

But yeah, I do the same thing Cap. I usually just find my way into the grandstand.

I remember going to the UCI super regional in high school. My God the old box was rocking. I miss it badly

Personally I want 2 things done:

- RF berm
- Extend the upper concourses all the way to the foul poles.

Yeah, we're kidding ourselves if we think we have the rowdiest and/or nicest stadium.

For the next big expansion, I want us to emulate Baum at Arkansas and find a way to emulate Ole Miss' atmosphere

We'd love to have you back in Oxford -- though after the scare you gave us this weekend, we'd prefer it's not as a two-seed in our regional. Any plans for a return trip?

Actually I think a couple of us are planning on coming out in the fall for a football game. We're trying to figure it out. We'd love to come back.


Oh shite....our "let's feed the opposing team jambalaya after the game in the parking lot" crowd is going to be jealous.

He picked Olivia Wilde over Kate Upton so he has OT cred

You don't build a church for Easter Sunday.

ABS/SBF's seating capacity won't be increased as long as we're not even averaging 60% actual attendance for regular season games.

Well we let teams beat us and then give them standing ovations and victory laps around the stadium.

So, Ole Miss ain't shite.

A berm would really funnel in the warm applause for opposing pitchers and make them feel extra cozy.
