Mizzou baseball will improve over the years.....now that they are in the SEC, it will HAVE to, regardless of weather. Doesn't mean they will one day have a 10K capacity stadium, but the level of competition will drive them to greater achievements...

USC fans are very proud of Carolina Stadium and how well we can pack it for games, but not too long ago we were also very proud of Sarge Fry Field, but it had a capacity of 6K. But baseball has changed for us in recent years: throughout most of the 80s and 90s we pretty much averaged under 2,000 average game attendance for our games, including after we joined the SEC.

After Tanner became our HC and we started winning more regularly the attendance started to improve, but even during our CWS years in 2002, '03, and '04 The years we averaged in the 3000s. College baseball overall has grown over the years especially in the SEC...give Mizzou a few years and we'll start seeing a jump with their popularity as well.....

Missouri is the Show-Me State, and the Mizzou Athletic Department will have to see proof that fans will show up enough to need a larger capacity.
