Tennessee had trouble filling their baseball stadium before it was expanded. Dudy Noble is spectacular and packed every game. Two completely different classes of baseball experiences.

As for the Box, any upgrades will certainly be suites and clubs. Won’t benefit me at all. There’s no money in upgrading bleachers.

TJ Ribs. Nice folks. Not a bad place. Just an impossible traffic jam between 3:30 and 6:00pm.

This thread should have died quietly, not revived.

No

Wrong, $300 gets you in every game IF there is availability. You basically get a decent seat to non conference games, and SRO to conference games. Sometimes nothing but that’s rare.

To clarify for some who commented on this post. I did the $300 last year. Got actual seats to 80% of games. Got SRO to most SEC games. A handful of games I never got the text. Yes, they are supposed to text, but coincidentally the games in which I got no text were near-record crowds. So call me wrong if you want to, but that was my experience. FYI at the crowded games, SRO is hardly worth it, people are standing five deep.

I think it was a worthwhile investment if you can make 15-20 games.

Ole Miss’ stadium is already far better than Tiger stadium. It is not nearly as large, but a whole lot nicer…

Um, no. The South Endzone is very nice as is the upper West Club. Both relatively new. The home side (West) has not been upgraded since 1940 and is pathetic and the new bowled in North endzone is just metal bleachers. The west side is so bad that they actually announced they would completely replace it and sacrifice about 20,000 seats for two full seasons while they built it new. I think they abandoned that plan

The bulk of the revenue is TV money.

Not to mention, college tennis is free to attend, and it’s a lot more fun than professional tennis. I’m sure they would appreciate a few more loud fans.

2021 is supposed to make me feel old? I wish!!!!

Interesting. I can see the day when the minors consolidate again like they did in 2021. Let the colleges bear the cost of development, then shorten the track through the minors.

But to your point, if you get stuck a few years in A or AA, a college scholarship and some NIL could be attractive. They would be in the minority of athletes that might appreciate a college degree.

Nothing will please Lane more than to take a knee at the one yard line four times in a row when there’s still a few minutes on the clock, all the while knowing the TV cameras have been on him the entire series. He will eat that up.

It stops when the boosters come to their senses and quit writing checks. I agree it’s not sustainable. I also think it will get worse before it gets better, possibly a decade or more, and as long as things keep headed down the NIL road, we have the right coaches in FB and baseball.

Yeah, somebody is going to endure TSA security so they can taunt Indiana fans in the terminal. Got it. Are you old enough to fly?

Nobody seems to be boycotting Lee Drive in Baton Rouge. Geez it's packed every day!

Yes, you are old fashioned. Most of us are. If we win, we all look the other way. On the other hand, if these mercenaries don't win, the leash is so much shorter. Spend $30 million on new players. Let them lose 2 games and the stadium will be empty.

I'm optimistic we win.

Relax. If Miami runs the ball like they can, they run the clock out and kick the FG. Rebs get the 1 point moral victory and the world can return to normal.
