Gotta say, the stadium is gorgeous but the crowd is disappointing and it ain't social distancing.
Hopefully the season tickets weren't almost all bought by businesses, corporations or individuals that buy them just for a select few games then try to, unsuccessfully, give the rest away or sell them.
That's the recipe for a few big crowds of nun on diehard fans, then every other game being empty.
This happened to a large extent in basketball.
For years basketball was perceived as being too expensive and that gameday tickets, either because of price or availability, weren't accessible to the average fan.
So... if you didnt have season tickets you werent going to drive to Stillwater without a ticket.
Even on the days where GIA was full, like the giveaway days, it was full of non diehard fans and didn't have the energy it used to.
It's quite possible, by making this facility so small, that we just spent $70 million to make baseball less accessible to the average fan.
Is someone not from Stillwater gonna drive to Stillwater just in hopes of possibly getting a SRO ticket?
For someone who does want to drive over, buy a ticket once they get there, and catch a game, what are their options?
We have s chance to build an Arkansas type fan base in baseball with the momentum of building a new stadium.
I'll be curious to see how accessible/affordable tickets are in a non Covid year.
