No place does college baseball like Mississippi State. The entire top-10 list of biggest on-campus crowds in NCAA history is comprised of dates and attendance totals from Dudy Noble Field. The legends of the Left Field Lounge are surpassed only by the truth about the happenings amongst those colorful rigs lining the outfield wall.

From there, smoke billows onto the field. Blue skies are broken up only by the tops of trailers, the centerfield wall and Ol’ Glory hanging from the flag pole. The crowd is loud. The crowd is educated. The crowd is, especially on weekends like these, crowded.
