OK, I understand that it's hard for folks to make SEC road trips--jobs interfering and the like. But, in two weeks, we are going to play a series (in Fayetteville) that is within reasonable driving distance. It's a nice ball park, and with the way the Hogs have cratered, fans are selling tickets dirt cheap on Stub Hub (most of which can be delivered electronically). Can't make it Friday? OK, the game on Saturday is at 6:05 followed by a 1:00 p.m. start on Sunday. If you live in DFW, that's easy. It's even doable if you live in Houston (good roads, and you can breeze through Dallas at a time when the freeways will be empty). It would sure be fun to see an Aggie invasion when we go up there in a couple of weeks.

If you decide to go, buy your tickets down the Right Field line (first base side)--the A&M team comps will be down in that corner.

Are their baseball fans better than their football fans?

I didn't enjoy my last trip to Fayettenam.

Probably Not

The facility is top notch and even though they don't have a solid team like in years past that area of Arkansas is very nice. Quaint is the word used by many. Work related stuff doesn't allow me to go but I would love to go back to that area for some good baseball in two years. Fayetteville has a lot of similarities as College Station but a more beautiful area and probably not near as friendly.

I had no problems last time. They probably aren't as friendly as some other fan bases, but I'd say the redneck level for baseball is a mere fraction of what you see for football. They have more corporate suites than any other college baseball facility, probably by a factor of 2. As long as you aren't sitting out in the outfield berm (I think they call it the Hog Pen), you should be fine. If you take my advice, you might be near other Aggies.

I may not be an Aggie by school, but was born in Bryan to great Aggie parents and continue to follow and love the university and people as my brother is currently attending and my sister attended for a time. I was the black sheep of the family and I made the decision to attend a private university in Arkansas and had to endure the horrible calling of the hogs at everything (I am pretty sure they even called the hogs at my church one weekend). I have had the opportunity to watch them lose against us in football year in and year out as of late and have many great friends who are still attending school in Arkansas.

I know that their fan-base will be fierce, but it is time Fayetteville gets lit up with bubbles! I will be attending with fraternity brothers from college and driving up from East Texas. Anyone who wants to share a Shiner before or after games let me know!

What twk said. The Ags will be sitting in the last section down the rf line. Usually near the top of the single deck. More fun with more people!

Also, where do you see a 6:05 start on Saturday? Schedule at 12thMan.com says 2pm.

We went a couple years back, sat with the hog fans and had a great time. Can't go this year but next time I do I'll likely sit in the outfield grass next time I do.

My ticket says 6:05. Guess they must have changed it for TV.

No kidding. When is there ever a time when Dallas freeways are empty?

I think the player comps were in 99 last time. That's the general area.

We need Air Force Ag to chime in, but, looking at the weather forecast, Friday is questionable--there will be rain, it's just a matter of timing. However, rain chances diminish greatly after noon on Saturday, so even if we get delayed on Friday, I think the most likely result is a day/night doubleheader on Saturday, which would probably mean that, as far as tickets are concerned, game 2 would be played as scheduled at 2, then game 1 would be played that evening--at least that's my guess if it's a complete rainout--if Friday's game gets underway but gets delayed, then it would be resumed in progress on Saturday.

At any rate, I think the odds of one of those 7 inning doubleheaders on Sunday look pretty low.
