If baseball played 1/3 the number of games, they'd draw more fans per game.



You want college baseball to play like 17 games per year?

Really good College baseball is around high A. It's a good product but obviously will never be huge.

I find it funny that Alabama fans don't care about college baseball when they're not good.

Slightly smaller than the capacity of the venue for basketball (due to the rink being larger). But way more than your average college baseball field.

And, they play fewer games in a hockey season.



these are not pro arenas

but yes some colleges would be lucky to draw 2k people at their games

Why don't you list the other 20 hockey programs and the other 260 baseball programs?

I would watch the Frozen Four before the CWS, but I also played hockey and really enjoy it.

I watched some college hockey when I lived up north. I enjoyed it. I like college baseball much more. This thread is intellectually dishonest though.

I enjoy both, TBH. I've seen more CH, but from the little bit of Baseball that I am able to catch, it's still pretty enjoyable too.

I'll let you find the website that keeps up with the attendance for swac and meac baseball games. I'm guessing the average is around 15.

Listing every other team wouldn't change the fact that hockey attendance is better than baseball.

Someone find the tv ratings for both postseasons. I'd be willing to bet baseball has a lot more. The Midwest is where hockey is most popular and baseball the least. Sure the attendance numbers show it is better attended but college baseball is more popular in America than college hockey. Fact
