We will need to step it up if we join the Big 12:

BIG 12
6. Texas (12) - 5,268
13. TCU (12) - 4,026
15. Texas Tech (9) - 3,683
28. Baylor (12) - 2,163
31. Kansas State (8) - 2,057
53. West Virginia (4) - 1,145
55. Oklahoma (10) - 1,129
85. Kansas (9) - 673
92. Oklahoma State (8) - 579

AAC
19. East Carolina (11) - 2,744
27. Tulane (11) - 2,182
38. Central Florida (9) - 1,529
59. Houston (8) - 1,086
75. South Florida (14) - 799
100. Memphis (7) - 513
102. Connecticut (1) - 512
103. Cincinnati (5) - 509

We are surrounded by the following recruiting rivals:
Ole Miss - 7,967
Arkansas - 7,886
Mississippi State - 6,323
Vanderbilt (14) - 2,720

While I agree our attendance should be better - once TCU, Texas and Oklahoma come rolling in something tells me we will see a significant attendance spike.

The old CUSA was a great baseball conference, but we've always struggled with attendance. FedEx Park helps, but we still have a ways to go.

Those are your words, not mine, Sparky. I have never said baseball is a high priority, but I think you are wrong if you are implying that it has NO importance. It is an indicator of school pride and I admire those schools which have it.

man, Texas' attendance is way down. Used be around around 10k when Augie Garrido had it rolling in the mid 2000s.

It's a Memphis thing.

Some of our fans can't seem to grasp your point. Again an inflated opinion of who we are and where we are in college athletics. And where we need to improve What it takes and means to big in the "club"

Poster claiming my stance is clear in 3....2....1...

If it's 500 we are pretty much at capacity

I was surprised to hear it was over 500

Nobody cares.

Literally nobody.

500 care

On Campus Baseball stadium now...oh wait.

Maybe we should move downtown to get more fans.

Another thing we will need to step up if we join the Big 12

A coach

I support Memphis baseball and am sometimes part of that 500. That wasn't my point though.

My point is that nobody cares about 500. Big XII couldn't possibly care less about baseball attendance.

Also, FedExPark is small.

Food is cheap though.

Uhhh...perhaps it is the 12-22 record, losing 7 of their last 10, zero NCAA tournament appearances since 2007 and a decade of mediocrity.
Blaming the fans for the lack of attendance is like Mama Cass blaming the dress.

BINGO!!!! GrayAvenger has a hard time in the facts.... Rock needs to go like NOW!!! He's consistently proven that he can not recruit the higher level kids and or take the program to the next level.

We need NEW Blood!!
