UPig Baseball $$$

[fedxdog]

Just read an article that mentioned UPig bb made a profit of $850,000 in 2019.
Any idea how we compare? Or other SECW teams?

They are in the high-growth area of Arkansas, so that's conducive to lots of sold season tickets, butts in seats, concessions, etc. for multiple games per week. Certainly not surprising.

WalMart, Tyson Foods, JB Hunt.....NW Arkansas is flowing in money and the Hogs benefit from that.

There’s over half a million people within 30 minutes of Razorback baseball. Tons of people and a lot of disposable income. They also have a lot of box seats in that stadium.

Arkansas and LSU are very similar in this regard. Their stadiums have more of an MLB feel to them, and by that I mean the 'energy' just isn't there like it is at MSU and Ole Miss. We have more of a party atmosphere and 'the spot' type feeling. People are excited when they are at Dudy Noble. Arkansas and LSU fans mostly stay seated and eat popcorn, if that makes sense. Those stadiums don't have a lot of GA either, it's mostly the same people coming over and over again.

At least that's my experience.

The reserved chairback area and the Hog Pen outfield berm area are both pretty different at Baum, stylistically. Outfield is mostly college students or drunk hecklers and is more of a party but there are a lot of blue hairs with money in the suites and bowl seating who don't make much noise. Just depends where you sit really.

Baum has more skyboxes than Dudy Noble (all the way down each foul line). And because of all the local money and population mentioned above, they sold out of season tickets, and probably charged a premium.

I cant speak for Baum as I've never been there but Alex Box has over 6k bleacher seats, the vast majority of which are GA. They just might have the most GA seats of any team in the nation.

Most of those bleachers are season tickets. Only the OF is GA.
