I can’t make excuses for y’all today. Maybe the weather? No matter what, it was a sad Tiger showing today, for sure.

I agree, but having a stadium like that is a big reason the it’s successful. We haven’t had a crowd like that since the FSU super regional.

Lol, we set a record for the Tennessee series 2 weeks ago.

There was a time when the Box was state of the art for baseball. All of the others have come since. Keeping up with the Jones’ ain’t cheap. Just move the bullpens. The stadium is fine.

They don’t want to hear it but we probably haven’t had a true sellout game yet this year.

The Thursday night Tennessee game was as electric as I've seen in a while.

False narrative. That’s what we were told. But Baum and Founders were better even after the last suite was installed.

Supposed to be done this offseason.

They should also put chairbacks down the lines and in LF and make a party deck/bleacher combo for the students in RF.

We need to do more than just move the bullpens.

Which is pathetic, when you consider we have the top team and we hosted top 15 tenn and UK. Our fans are soft and the stadium is somewhere between 3rd and 7th best in the league.

It’s really sad the premier program doesn’t have the best.

We can throw all the money we want at The Box, it is physically impossible to have a stadium as good as Dudy Noble unless we move off campus.

State arky and usce all have better stadiums

Aggy and ole miss are debatable but their fan experience seems to be better than ours

Texas A&M and Ole Miss definitely don't have a better stadium than us.

Blue Bell park is a trash heap.

I can agree we likely never catch state.

State is sneaky good at having cool things. I don’t think it’s reasonable that we would have thought of building what they did when we put the plans in for the new box.

We probably could have done something more creative when the slate was blank

sucks to say, but that atmosphere is better than any regular season atmosphere that we will have at the Box this year. 


First, obviously you missed game 1 vs 10rc.
Second, am I wrong or do we not still lead the nation in attendance?

Third, while records are nice, I would prefer larger crowds nightly than one game records and our fans are well engaged...sometimes too wngaged.

It’s weird you say that. Remember the old dude? I never thought they would be able to make the new Dude out of those old bones. I guarantee you that company that built that park could put together a plan for the Box.
