a little history

Last season, for the first time in NCAA history, two collegiate baseball games had on-campus crowds of more than 10,000 on the same day. The two home teams, Mississippi State and Mississippi. It helped that those two baseball games coincided with spring football games at the respective institutions, but either way, it's an impressive stat.

This fact is being promoted with the SEC's "Pack the Parks - The Drive for 1.5" publicity campaign. Drawing 1,490,005 spectators in 2005, the SEC's baseball attendance goal this year is 1.5 million.
