I see us being a one seed at another host site wayyyyy before I see us hosting three teams and fan bases in the friendly confines of 3,000 seat JC Love

Ours is acceptable if they stick us with teams from far off, no need for large crowd capacity if the teams' fans have to come from elsewhere.
Regardless, seems like we need to find a way to expand the Shack after this season.
The Historian pointed out last weekend in another thread...
A school has to submit a bid (schools usually bid on both the regional and super regional at the same time) and then be able to provide all four schools with at least 300 permanent seats and enough hotel rooms to acomodate each travel party. We have the seating and plenty of hotel rooms in Ruston and Monroe. We shouldn't have any problems with the bid.
Not based on what we've seen so far this year. We had great crowds for Arkansas but not SRO. Tonight and this weekend will say a lot about our fans and our administration's lack of ability to market.
We need to enhance the experience before we add seating. There are still things we can do down the right field line, left field line and fence. Fans will pay for special tail gate areas, but not if our admin keeps them a secret until the week before the season begins.
Our AD is too busy visiting with an SEC coach who got beat by Pine Bluff to worry about such silly matters
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Someone please tell them Friday is St. Patrick's Day, one of the easiest holidays to market.
Well, except for Mardi Gras, that is, if you happen to live in Louisiana and have a huge baseball game against a border state's flagship on that holiday.
Oh, wait...
We could have green beer in the DAC if we simply converted the Joe to a baseball stadium and field. But, I suppose green hot dogs would be a start.
Somebody needs to inform our peeps that mardi gras ends on fat Tuesday.
Was there a late Mardi Gras promotion? Let's just give them some props...baby steps!
Wow.
