NEW ORLEANS — Two years ago, the state of Louisiana laid claim to the college baseball single game attendance record when an April 2002 game between Tulane and LSU drew a crowd of 27,673 in the Louisiana Superdome. That game, as well as the record-setting Super Regional attendance the previous year at Zephyr Field, established Louisiana college baseball fans as the country’s best.
But on March 11, 2004, a crowd of 40,106 fans packed San Diego’s brand new Petco Park to watch a college game between San Diego State, coached by legendary Padres’ star Tony Gwynn, and Houston, breaking the mark set at that Tulane-LSU contest and threatening the attendance dominance of Louisiana college baseball fans.
The game on April 27, 2004 provides an opportunity for Louisiana to restake its claim as the nation’s best as LSU and Tulane, once again ranked among the Top 20 teams in the country, will meet for the third time this season in a 7 p.m. contest in the Superdome.
