I live 10 mins from dudy noble and went to tournament games there and its an incredible experience especially when we unveiled the national championship banner
been waiting for you to start the college baseball tour!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to get to all of these....Did Arkansas this year (better than a lot of minor league parks) Florida, and Auburn. Have done Mississippi State before the renovations, Texas A&M, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Georgia as well
Forty years ago about the only teams drawing fans for college were Mississippi State,Miami, Arizona State and Texas. I lived in Phoenix in 83 and saw an ASU/USC game that had Barry Bonds,Mark McGwire,Randy Johnson, Odibe McDowell , Dan Wakamatsu(MLB manager)and Jack Del Rio( NFL head coach). Probably 3,000 there and that was a big deal
Fun fact: there's a train track behind right field at Olsen. Whenever a train passes by, we hold up a number of fingers to guess how many engines are on the train.
Baum-Walker has actually had another renovation in the last couple years since the Google Earth pics were done. Now there's a huge athletic center in RF that connects underground to the 1B dugout. Crazy enough, for a sport that doesn't get nearly the attention of football or basketball, almost every stadium in the conference has had or will have some sort of multi-million dollar upgrade or rebuild in the last decade.
Lol, we have a AA team that sits 10 minutes from the Razorbacks campus. Beautiful stadium, but the Hogs are what matter here. KC is only three hours away. Fayetteville's population is nearly 100K and the metro area is over 600K. It's not rural anymore. This conference is not near as rural as you think. The slogan may be cheesey, but it's true. "It just mean more" down here. Southerners care more about college sports.
@@ryanelam1254 I lived for a couple of years in the South and experienced that. On Saturdays during football season it seemed like half of Louisiana was going to pay attention to the LSU game over in Texas 40% of the state were "gig 'em Aggies", 40% of them were "Hook 'em Horns" with a few odd balls who like Texas Tech. Growing up near Toronto I think it was even bigger than hockey here. It reminded me a little more of European soccer fans how deep the support ran.
Was at Ole Miss in 88 and watched construction of Swayze from the building out pasr left field. Initially just 2700 seats and they did all they could to keep people from congregating in the outfield Trees were planted from foul line to foul line. The thinking is they didn't want to ' lower' themselves to Mississippi State levels. Luckily over the years they decided if you can't beat them, join them and turned it into a much more fan friendly experience.
I've got some bad news, the outfield walls at Kentucky Proud Park are black now I went last weekend for the first time and it's really nice. Probably needs one more concession stand though. Lines got a little long
And only FOUR handicap parking spots with NO shuttle. If you need assistance getting in and out of the stadium. . . .good luck. Otherwise, a nice venue.
As a Georgia fan, I don't know if Foley Field needs an expansion or a replacement, but we definitely have work to do. College baseball is growing in popularity, and the reduction of MiLB will soon make the quality of play in NCAA D1 baseball better. We've got to keep up.
4:45 I think that Spanish style exterior matches the LSU campus buildings but I could be mistaken. Its been a long time since I visited and I wasn't there to look at architecture. I would be now that I'm an old man but I had other things on my mind in those days. Maybe an LSU alumn can confirm or tell us I am wrong? My favourites are Ole Miss and Auburns. Auburn just has a nice unique look and Ole Miss' has a really nice park imo.
The Vanderbilt left field wall was made a feature years ago as the head coach, at the time, was some kind of Red Sox fan (former player or fromBoston) That’s the way I heard it….
Foley is small but it’s chill in that way. There’s not massive lines at bathrooms/concessions, normally easy to find parking too. Just wish the dawgs would stop playing w/ my emotions and get a chip. 08 was insane I still can’t believe we lost to another team named the bulldogs
Most of those stadiums give some minor league venues a run for their money. When I lived in East Tennessee, I enjoyed going to watch the Lookouts and the Smokies play. Now I live in Minnesota, and I’ve gone up to St Paul to watch the Saints play a couple of times. All nice stadiums.
Arkansas was the original innovator in making college baseball profitable and fan friendly. College baseball stadiums looked like high school stadiums before Baum Stadium was built. The entire conference has Arkansas to thank for SEC dominance in college baseball.
So LSU is supposed to be thankful to Arkansas for the standard when the Razorbacks finally finished a stadium in 1996, the same year LSU was winning their third national championship? Something about that seems a bit off lol
Mississippi State built Dudy Noble (the original) long before Arkansas was allowed to join the SEC. I'm no State fan, but I give them credit for making modern college baseball big time well ahead of Arkansas.
With nearly every other ballpark in the video the exterior was highlighted. Showing KPP's exterior, and how it matches Kroger Field next door, would have done more justice to the place. Similar to A&M.

when ever I am feeling stressed, sadden or having a bad day. Watching your videos always brings a smile to my face. :)
Same bro. The videos are so relaxing
Same here

Linsey Nelson was a broadcaster for College football. And Play by play announcer for the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants.

Dudy Noble Field-- the Carnegie Hall of college baseball!!

Been waiting for you to do college baseball stadiums for so long!!

that is awesome!

These schools are mainly in rural areas, people don’t have close access to MLB. So they support college teams.

@@sdeepj It's southern culture to support college teams. I'm pretty sure that every school has 1 MLB team less than 200 miles from campus.

Born and raised in KY, the KPP one had me rolling, well done!🤣🤣🤣
I think UK should adopt your song for them. That cracked me up!

The SEC dominates college baseball and has some of the best stadiums.

you should do this for every conference
don't ever ever ever get rid of that background song. EVER!
just a quick reminder. Out of the 25 most attendance 24 are hold in Stark Vegas at the Dudy. Only 1 came in at 19 and thats the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Maybe a top 10 soccer/football venues in college in the US
Can't wait for ACC baseball. Be sure to include past tournament sites...or make that it's own video.

First
Nice video any chance you can do ACC next please?
The Vanderbilt left field wall was made a feature years ago as the head coach, at the time, was some kind of Red Sox fan (former player or fromBoston)
That’s the way I heard it….
It looks cool on TV, but when you look at it from the side it's kind of ugly how it juts out into left center.
Foley is small but it’s chill in that way. There’s not massive lines at bathrooms/concessions, normally easy to find parking too. Just wish the dawgs would stop playing w/ my emotions and get a chip. 08 was insane I still can’t believe we lost to another team named the bulldogs
Hey you won it all in 90!
I suggest doing Ivy League ballparks.
Also more hockey arenas please!
Did you ever do basketball arenas of the Mountain West Conference?
LSU now has the biggest scoreboard out in left field now.
Dudy noble (the dude) is in a league of its own
Dudy Noble might be one of the best ballparks in America
Quirino province inter-barangay basketball league arenas please
Great video! Roll Tide 🐘
Surprised you didn’t mention “kudzu hill” at Foley Field. Go Dawgs!!
Should look at all D1 stadiums, even if it takes awhile
You should do fictional stadiums next to be unique
I do love me a good stadium video

Do ACC ballparks next
I used to like in Kentucky... A a teen. Very Rural!
Do PAC 12 next for baseball
Ah, Yep!
DO THE ACC BASEBALL STADIUMS NEXT
PAC stadiums next
Do ACC Baseball stadiums!!
Timely video, as 6 SEC teams are in the Super Regionals for the right to play in the CWS in Omaha. GO CATS!

Ole Miss Arena still be number one
Missouri need to upgrade thing seating
3:25 😂😂😂😂😂
Easy choice Arkansas ,followed by Kentucky
Baum is the best by far
#HowTrulyUnexpected!
GIVE US NCHC HOCKEY ARENAS!!!!
Of course, Kentucky is just made fun of.
With nearly every other ballpark in the video the exterior was highlighted.
Showing KPP's exterior, and how it matches Kroger Field next door, would have done more justice to the place. Similar to A&M.
Getting serious minor league park vibes from these stadiums.
If one of them adds outfield stands all around then i'd get MLB vibes.
Where’s Oklahoma and Texas?
They aren’t in the sec yet
