MSU baseball record with 10K+ home crowds

[bulldogcountry1]

I've been to a lot of games at Dudy Noble with big crowds, and it feels like we lose an awful lot of those games. So, I decided to look it up. I decided to start in 2002, when Polk II started. The large crowds before then were pretty scattered, and many are skewed because of the old Saturday DH format.

Our record at Dudy Noble with 10K+ crowds since 2002 is 17-19. That's a 0.472 winning percentage. Pretty pathetic. Since Cohen was hired in 2009, we are 13-13.


So much for a home field advantage.

That's Baseball.*

The key is to get an 'average' crowd that is somewhat repeatable. The huge crowds, a few times per year, freak our own players out just as much as they do the opposing players.

Cohen knew what he was doing with the stadium.

 

[RutherfordBHayes]

Yeah, but that time includes the worst period in program history.

Wouldn’t it also seem that the largest crowds are for the biggest weekends against the toughest competition?

 

[dawgstudent]

That was going to be my point.

Maybe we should schedule MS Valley State University for Super Bulldog Weekend to help raise our winning percentage for big crowds.***

Too bad it didn't work this way in Portland.

So under Cohen's reign we're doing a little better than average. Does baseball count actual people in seats, or tickets sold? There are an awful lot of empty seats between 1st and 3rd, and I thought the stated capacity was only about 10K.

Who was the competition at those big games? I assume they were better than average teams.

So.if we shrink it to the size of the rest of the SEC parks, we should be more successful.

We need this to improve, but I don't think it's pathetic that we are about .500 against other top SEC and regional type teams.

We don't have 10K + type crowds for crappy games.

 

[Todd4State]

I don't understand the point. Are we saying that people shouldn't show up?

I don't want to hear any bitching about me staying at home then. You're welcome.
