I used to think SC was like an SEC west baseball school with rabid fan support but everything I've read the last few years has shown your stadium is pretty quiet and crowds are thin. How can that be for a school with your history? I genuinely don't get it

I mean....we usually are. When Tanner was here we for sure were. When they moved to founders they really killed the spirit of it all though. At Sarge we had the third base hecklers. "The same old crowd" was at every game. When we built founders we were able to put more into the park, but it was so nice and new that we had casuals showing up. Casuals are fine, but heckling went away as they complained to the yellow shirts. The school has actually taken a hard stance on heckling of basically any kind. So yeah, the product has been what fans want with Holbrook or Kingston, but then the yellow coats/admin driving away the everyday fans by tossing them or telling to stop heckling has hurt our support also. So basically being a national title contender we still had packed places...but being only top 16 the casuals have quit coming
Every game on TV has also hurt fan support

Post Ray Turner, they have been very up and down with the ups not being all that high.

Most of the west powers have had more on-field success the last decade. The Cocks fanbase is kind of checked out on year 7 of Kingston.

Kingston has ruined Gamecock baseball for fans the way Mushcamp ruined Gamecock football for fans - the fatigue is real -
the "SEC west baseball school with rabid fan support" theory hasn't been providing Alex Box this season with environments we've come to expect - it didn't in the New Dude in 2022 either - or Swayze in 2023 - wonder why?
