Interesting. Don't know the answer to HD6's response to that Twitter, but we will not play our first home game in 2018 until the SEC schedule starts due to stadium construction.

Edit: Per media guide, looks like we opened at North Florida.

Good thing we'll have an elite team to hopefully overcome some of that.

Well, the RPI will be good.

I'm tired of MSU keeping them afloat....I want to see their rent a cop try to escort Cannizzaro out of their ballpark....

I wish we would just play all OOC games at Jackson.

Cannizaro's dad played baseball at USM.

I wish we would just play all OOC games at Jackson.

That would be nice but it would also likely be expensive.

Did you leave these ** off on purpose ?

Some of the 3 team series we play early on, this makes sense

I wish we would just play all OOC games at Jackson.

Jackson and Biloxi.

Oh please no, not this again. Although some of our students have cars and pockets full of money, a lot of them don't. They would have to stay in the dorms and listen to the game on radio, or watch on TV if they are lucky. This was tried in the late 50s and early 60s when our out of touch legislators were inspired to build the Jackson stadium. For a lot of us poor folks about the only real recreation we had was going to a game on camput.

What's the situation with Smith Wills these days? Are there any other stadiums in central MS besides Trustmark that could hold a couple thousand at a reasonable expense?

Cohen said the goal for 2018 was to play 25 home games. For a frame of reference, we played 33 home games last year not including the Regional and Super Regional.

15 home conference games, so we'll have 10 home OOC games to figure out. And I'm guessing at least half of those will be midweek games.

So it looks like we will get one nonconference home series at most. And maybe none at all.

ETA: on the flip side, it looks like we will open our new stadium in 2019 with a home series against USM. That actually is really cool.
