Minute Maid Park...We will guarantee the sellout.
No matter how many times it is brought up on TexAgs, or how good of an idea it may seem to be, it's not happening.
And a sell out is far from guaranteed. 5 days notice to plan and promote an event in a major league size stadium? Come on. Was at the Louisville/A&M game for Minute Maid Classic. Attendance was 10,704 per box score but it was far less than that for actual butts in seats. Even the world champion Astros don't sell out Minute Maid Park for every game. I love college baseball and would be at every game at MMP, but the idea that there are 20,000+ Aggies and Longhorns ready to go to a Super Regional at Minute Maid Park is just not realistic. If it was both Olsen and Disch Falk would be quite a bit larger.
Also I would rather host it at Olsen Field 10/10 times. It seems the MMP suggestion is just a way to avoid the possibility of playing in Austin.
