    Southern or McNeese I would expect. NCAA isn't going to send a 4 seed outside the 400-mile minimum air transportation range when they don't have to.

    Re: Regional Sites Selected (Ruston is included)

    Are any students staying in the apartments with balconies overlooking outfield during the summer?

    If not, could they not work with housing and sell those rooms as "suites" during the games? People could bring their own lawn chairs to sit on their own private balconies while having their own private bathrooms, kitchen and refrigerator. That could make some serious money during the regional. If it is possible, they could offer the people at the tailgate spots these deals first and then put in temporary seating down the right-field line to get more fans in and of course more money.

    The case for Louisiana Tech being a #1 seed requires moving 8 teams above Tech in RPI to a 2 seed or lower. Here is that case.

    Louisiana Tech--#43 overall SOS, #21 non-conference RPI with #21 non-conference SOS, 9-11 vs RPI Top 50

    #3 Fairfield--all MAAC schedule, didn't win the MAAC Tournament on its home field, likely one of the last teams in the field if in at all.
    #14 Oklahoma State--35-17-1 overall 12-12 Big 12 regular season record and lost in tournament final, #16 non-conference RPI with #65 non-conference SOS, 6-11 vs RPI Top 50
    #18 South Carolina--hosting, so not in consideration to travel to Ruston
    #19 Duke--32-20 overall, 16-17 ACC regular season record and tournament championship, #22 non-conference SOS, 13-14 vs RPI Top 50
    #20 UCLA--18-12 Pac 12 record, #28 non-conference RPI with #86 non-conference SOS, 12-7 vs RPI Top 50
    #21 Oregon State--16-14 Pac 12 record, #23 non-conference RPI with #47 non-conference SOS, 8-16 vs RPI Top 50
    #22 Southern Miss--conference opponent so won't be sent to Ruston
    #23 Connecticut--#66 overall SOS, #40 non-conference RPI with #59 non-conference SOS, 2-8 vs RPI Top 50

    If Tech isn't a #1 seed, Oklahoma State is the only team on the list with the credentials to earn that spot.

    Doubt it. Athletics have no control over the dorms.

    Long term, I hope baseball take over that dorm and convert into suites and extended seating options.

    The NCAA just might have a say on free access to non-students to those buildings and the concourse. I remember that the NCAA committee reps required Tech to charge general admission to sit on the bank above right field at the old softball stadium when Tech hosted softball regionals in the 1980's.

    Ruston is going to be hopping. Peach Fest, USSSA softball at the new complex, baseball regional, and we have dance recital at Tech. Not that the last thing has any bearing on how busy it will be, but all the other stuff will make it fun getting through downtown and onto campus. I expect hotels from Bossier over the Monroe/West Monroe to be pretty full. Good for North Louisiana for a change.

    Yeah well, it's why I said work with housing. Someone far up the chain of command could make it work.

    If attendance picks up to where permanent seating additions are needed, that would be a great option.

    The same thing happened when Tech hosted the soccer conference tournament. People were told to pay for sitting on the bank next to the road and standing on the sidewalk.

    To be honest, Tech should have been charging all year out there. $5 per day and a $60-75 season pass wouldn't be a bad option.

    Are you sure about that? Why on earth would the NCAA care what a school --any school-- charged for seats or even if they charged for seats at all?

    It’s the NCAA, where the rules are made up as they go and common sense doesn’t matter.

    And a propensity to over reach is a given.
