UL Softball Stays In Top Ten In Attendance Figures
As is normally the case, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns are drawing extremely well for their respective home games at Yvette Girouard at Lamson Park.
Louisiana currently ranks 9th in the nation in the latest college softball attendance figures.
Heading into the week, UL was 42-4 on the season, including a 22-1 home record, having drawn 32,716 fans.
The Cajuns return home on Friday, playing host to Coastal Carolina in the opening game of a three-game, weekend, Sun Belt Conference series.
Alabama, who 56,690 fans, through 23 home games, ranks number one in the country, followed by Auburn, who has drawn 52,779 through only 28 home games.
Arizona ranks third on the list, having drawn 50,689 through 25 games, with Texas A&M checking in fourth, after drawing 45,775 through 33 home games.
LSU ranks 5th on the list, having drawn 44,982 fans through 30 home dates
In terms of average attendance, Louisiana also ranks 9th, averaging 1,422 fans a game, one of only 16 schools in the nation that are averaging more than 1,000 fans.
And actually, Louisiana likely ranks even better in attendance, as they're averaging over 1,700 fans per home contest. The issue is that it seems as though the Cajuns, in the tournaments they played in, in which they played two home games in one day; were credited for one attendance figure for one game, but were given zero attendance for the other, declining their average attendance numbers.
It's a glitch in the system; one that the NCAA will, hopefully, work out in the future.
As for now; these are the official stats.
Alabama ranks at the top in average attendance, averaging 2,465 fans per home contest.
Ranking high in attendance is nothing new, as the Cajuns typically draw among the best programs in the nation, ranking in the top ten in attendance the last two years.
Yvette Girouard at Lamson Park is always a special place for UL softball!
