Embarrassing Attendance

I realize it's the middle of the week, but the attendance at this year's ACC baseball tournament is embarrassing.
And I don't think it will get that much better when we get to the semifinal/final.
Great job supporting this event, Louisville.

Louisville averages fewer than 1,900 for its home games...

which is sixth among ACC schools behind Clemson, FSU, Miami, Virginia and North Carolina, so don't look for any real significant improvement when the Cardinals take the field.

I think you found the cause to your own gripe inside of your post.

Posts like this are ridiculous.
A lot of folks have many other commitments than to travel to Ky. and watch mid-week college baseball.

I have attended the sec tournament in Hoover, and their early round games had way better attendance.
If that's your excuse, then that is more reason for it NOT to be held there in the future.
I remember when I was a kid when it was held in Greenville and even last year at Durham Bulls when the attendance is much better.

If ACC wanted to make money, it would be in Greenville

ACC ruined the best non-CWS tournament in the nation when they moved it from Greenville.

I went last year for Clemson's semifinal game against wake forest. Great venue at the Durham Bulls stadium, and it will be returning there in 2018.

Louisville focuses more on academics and less on sports.***
