Regional ticket info

I'll be pulling for you if/when it happens, but be prepared to get jobbed by umpires like you've never seen.
Ha thanks man. All good natured trash talk. This really is a tough regional, all jokes aside. The C-USA champ, the Sun Belt champ, a State team that would've probably been a national seed barring injuries, and maybe the best 4 seed in the country (if not UIC, it's San Diego State). Should be a fun weekend.
All those C-USA and Metro championships, brah. And there's that NIT "championship." Might as well refer to us as Title Town.**
Up until a couple of weeks ago, I got emails from the Titans wanting me to buy season tickets because I went to the Music City Bowl and bought parking tickets through them. The last email wanted to know if I was interested. I said "no", even though it's only about 100 miles away.
I get robocalls wanting me to buy basketball tickets every fall. God how I regret going to that 17ing game
Looks like USM is doing everything possible to keep State fans from getting tickets.
They will try similar tactics next spring. I guess they would rather have a half empty stadium than make money off us.

When you have a fan base that doesn't support, add on it's a small stadium and then you have a SEC team coming into your stadium that travels better in baseball then your fans do for football, you do what you have to. A 5000 seat stadium doesn't make money. The light cost more to run then the revenue brought in. I guess they have lights. I guess they took the early game Friday so they can have an excuse when the stadium is half empty.
Ignorant post. USM is regularly top 15-20 with regard to baseball attendance. No, we're not "elite" in that regard like MSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and LSU, but we still outdraw a good many schools from your conference. There were 5,200 fans at the C-USA game yesterday between USM and Rice, virtually all of them USM fans. There will be close to 6,000 fans at games involving Southern Miss next weekend, and it would be that way regardless of whether MSU was there. I don't think a lot of casual State fans realize that baseball is not a nationally popular sport at the college level. You guys have a lot to be proud of in the attendance department, but USM is no slouch.
I know ya'll are trying to be funny and all, but doesn't USM sell out their stadium? I would imagine if they are playing, they'll have a full house.
Lighten up. Just poking fun. A little bit of trash talk. By the way when you get 14K plus to a home baseball game then come to our message board and brag to us how good your attendance is.

I'll have to give them some slack
Often the home #1 seed choses to play the early game.
Longer time to rest, end your first day at reasonable hour. If there did happen to be rain delays, they are not the ones staying up all night.
Better opportunity to study unknown opponents, etc.
Now, considering the USM Athletic shortfalls, I do expect them to do all they can to sell as many tickets, and make all of the $ that they possibly can.
Looks like LSU is playing the early game.

I thought so at first, then got triggered because I've heard State fans make fun of our baseball attendance (unfairly so). No, we're not Mississippi State with regard to attendance, but hell, hardly anybody is. If you wanna talk football attendance smack, I have no rebuttal.
Correct. Southern Mississippi outdraws Alabama for sure(im not too familiar with many other non MSU SEC Baseball Stadiums). You guys have a great program and a great fanbase for baseball.
And quite frankly I expect to see Southern Mississippi in Baton Rouge in a week. Which they have the better matchup out of anyone in this Regional to knock LSU out(which I'm not sure anyone will before or even during the CWS).
10 people can actually make a pretty good circle.
All jokes aside, Southern Miss cares more about baseball than Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee and maybe Florida. These guys are good this year, and will win this regional if we can't find a reliever who can throw a baseball across the plate. They will find a way to screw up the ticket situation, and good luck finding a seat in that small stadium.

In 2016, USM finished #19 in the nation in average attendance with 3,040 per game. The top 6 positions were all SEC teams, LSU (10,554), OM (8,580), MSU (7,962), Ark (7,815), USCe (7,150), & A&M (5,300).
USM finished ahead of SEC teams .. #20 Vandy, #26 Auburn, #30 Ga, #36 UT & Missouri (the ONLY SEC team NOT in the Top 40)
There were ONLY two CUSA teams in the Top 40 .. #19 USM & #24 Rice.

This takes into account doubleheaders and is more accurate.

I always forget what a minor sport baseball is to most schools. If you had told me 3k per game and asked me to guess where that ranked nationally, I would have guessed outside of the top 50.
Is your ticket office going to cut off GA tickets at a certain number? I know there are 3700 seats and room down that right field line for more. I expect there will be demand for 3-4K just from our fans. When will your ticket office cut if off?
Sold Out Apparently
USM supports their baseball team and their season ticket holders rightfully snatched all the tickets. Should be a good environment.
That said, any USM fans want to part with 2-4 tickets for the MSU-USA game on Friday night? Send me a message if so and I can PayPal.

Friggin 50 $ for a ticket quoted to me today for Friday nights game. Will go to 75 before Friday. QUOTE=wpmusm;1339298]http://www.southernmiss.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/053017aac.html

Does the same guy who counts enrollment at USM also count the seats in Pete Taylor Park? The university website lists the stadium capacity at 6,600, yet their record crowd is 5,689.
Their official twitter account (according to a poster here) says they'll sell fewer than 6K tickets.

Just like I said in my earlier post in this thread "They will find a way to screw up the ticket situation, and good luck finding a seat in that small stadium."
This is the type of **** that losing @ Georgia will get you. They earned the right to handle their home ticket situation any way they want to, we didn't.
