UL Softball Ranks High 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 7th in the nation in the latest college softball attendance figures.
UL, who is 23-3 on the season, including an unbeaten 15-0 home record, has drawn 20,059 fans.
The Cajuns return home on Wednesday evening, hosting McNeese St. in a non-conference contest.
Auburn, who 37,362 fans, through 20 home games, ranks number one in the country, followed by Arizona, who has drawn 31,699 through 17 home games.
Alabama ranks third on the list, having drawn 28,983 through 14 games, with LSU checking in fourth, after drawing 28,367 through 20 home games.
Texas A&M ranks 5th on the list, having drawn 27,348 fans through 20 home dates
In terms of average attendance, Louisiana against ranks 8th, averaging 1,337 fans a game, one of only 13 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.
As for now; these are the official stats.
Alabama ranks at the top in average attendance, averaging 2,070 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!
