All of college baseball would benefit from beer sales at games. Beer and baseball go hand in hand.

Some schools outside the SEC already do it.

I was lucky enough to visit SC's ball park this weekend and I was very impressed. It's a nice, well done park and I liked how the seating felt so close to the field. However, the Box is bigger and more impressive to me, and our grandstand is much more "grand" and intimidating.
The only problem I have with the Box is the bleacher seating along the baselines. I think once they decide to replace those with permanent stadium seats we will far and away have the best college ball park in the country.

If you buy a shirt is it lost money or is it paying for something that is neccessary? Does it have any resale value... no. Was it money that just fell out of your pocket..no. We chose to build and pay for the stadium..that is not bleeding money that is making a decision to invest in your program. Take all the stadium stuff out and we lost little to no money. Take the same data for the next 7 years and we will either make money or it will be a wash..nothing worse.
Your stadium has been done for 3 years and your back to back NCs put y'all deeper in the hole by almost a million. My guess is another 7 years isn't going to change a thing unless y'all up the ad revenue because your current blueprint ain't working brah.

I have been told $40,000 a year per sign of revenue per year. I can handle probably close to a million dollars in income off of signs. Unless you want everyone to pay an extra 2 dollars per ticket.

I would say our blueprint over the last few years has worked out just fine.

This isn't a thread about wins and losses though. Y'all are at a point where your baseball program shouldn't be a money pit.

We just spent 33 million on a park and we are talking 9 million over 7 years and who knows what percentage they factored in for the stadium. Obviously we have enough money where we dont feel we have to go the mass sponsership route. It may change in the future I dont know.
Just think of all the money we could save if we would just skip out on Omaha?

The point isn't that USCe shouldn't go to Omaha, but that the University isn't doing a great job capitalizing on the success of the program monetarily.

South Carolina baseball spends more money than it makes. Where is that money coming from? Football. For every dollar saved on baseball and invested into football, Carolina actually sees a return. If your athletic department is willingly choosing to burden their football program with baseball debt, then they are in the wrong conference.

No they wouldnt be, if that scenario were true then the SEC would be the perfect conference for that.

I've heard that LSU is one of only two athletic departments that receives no money from the state. Is South Carolina the other? If not, well, there you go. LSU has to get money where it can. Personally, the ads don't bother me, but neither does the PVC pipe in Tiger Stadium that some on here freak out about.

It's more than just that. It's the rightfield berm and deck, the leftfield line patio dining area, aluminum hand rails in the backdrop are painted maroon unlike LSU's redundant plethora of shiny silver rail(ugly on tv), USC w/MLB proper hunter/plantation green unlike LSU's shiny spearmint green walls..
And unlike LSU's Mardi-Gras puke of three different grandstand seat colors, they stick to the school's lone predominant color seats..
1st i've heard about how horrible our stadium is.
