[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 898774, member: 4572"] That’s why I want them to turn the right field line area into a beer garden/party area, and focus mainly on getting students out there. Free student admission and $2 beers or something. On Friday and Saturday nights they can pregame at the baseball game instead of the frat houses or their apartments. Most baseball stadiums have areas where the game is just something going on in the background, and the real reason to attend is for the party. We have a pretty good baseball team and play some note worthy opponents (UGA, Miami, Clemson, FSU, UNC) so there would be some notoriety in going to the games. Mississippi State’s left field lounge, Ole Miss’ right field student section, UGA’s Kudzu Hill, Arkansas’ outfield sections. Clemson has a really good tailgate/party scene surrounding their baseball games. When Miami is good their parking deck behind the right field wall fills up with people partying. Virginia Tech built their new stadium with students partying in mind, and when they were good this year and hosted the regional/super they showed out. VT’s stadium only has like 2,000 seats but like 6,000 people showed up to their postseason games because their stadium allows it and encourages it. Most minor league and MLB stadiums have party decks and sections where nobody even watched the game. They just show up and drink for a couple hours, and if the game/team is good they’ll watch. But those are the things you have to do to attract fans, and if you play good while those fans are there they’ll keep coming back. One of the few places on campus we already have ample space to do something like that, it should be a no brainer. Put some cornhole boards over there, some shade, upgrade/build new concessions and restrooms on that side of the field and you’re in business. An investment of a couple hundred thousand dollars could pay huge dividends in the long term. [/QUOTE]
