We are the greatest fans in College baseball, but MSU has set an on campus attendance record today of nearly 16,000 fans. The drinks are in clear view and it's basically one big party in the outfield. I think we're past the point of getting LSU to build a berm, but would you be in favor of changing something in the outfield to get that kind of atmosphere other than just Super Regionals?

win in Omaha. That's how we did it to start. That's why they're doing it now. It works well.

No

LSU plays very boring baseball. That doesnt get the casual fan out to the park.

I'd love a berm but they can keep their makeshift pos wooden stands

At some point, Alex Box will be expanded. We have 27 suites atm, and we could certainly sell more if they were available.

When the new Alex Box was proposed, they showed pic of what it would look like with suites all the way down each foul line. We will see that in the next 5-6 years, take it to the bank.

And yes, I'd like to see some type of berm as well.

Do you want Cousin Eddie and his pals to pull their campers in outside the walls and set up their lawn chairs and God knows what else?

Sorry bro but The Box was half empty today and you want them to build a berm. Until the older age group dies off so people will actually use the tickets and not just hang them in their office. Seats will continue to be empty in all sports book it.

Dudy Noble is a dump.

For an engineering school, the layout of the bleachers with relation to the grandstand is very poor. There are actually spots in the RF bleachers where you can't see the plate at all. And all that crap around the outfield fence, while conducive to a party atmosphere, looks trashy as hell.

No. State has been trying to be like us or better us in any way for years. I'm from MS and see it and hear all about it. Keep it the way it is and let the rings and 8 year winning streak do the talking. They are titleless and reaching for something they can claim to be the "best" in so let them have it.

Crowds at the Box this weekend have been absolutely pathetic. It's almost as if after the Florida series half the fans said F it.

Personally, I don't care for thousands of "casual fans" who are at the game for the party atmosphere rather than for the game, itself. I prefer fans who are into the game enough to pay attention to what's going on in the game and make noise when it is warranted.

Did LSU miss the boat with the outfield and incorporating students... Yes

Did they intentionally miss the boat... yes

Alex Box is the premier amateur baseball atmosphere. The only thing I want us to change is the intimidater. It needs to have "2014" listed.
