There are no tickets available for Ragin Cajun fans for the Clemson regional. The softball park seats 1,000 fans. Each player was allotted four tickets. Maybe try StubHub?
It's very unfortunate. All of the die-hard fans who love to travel won't be doing so.
...or maybe our players who will not use their tickets can sell them?
A P5 school with a crappy stadium that only seats 1,000 is pretty pathetic. Seems like there should be a minimum capacity requirement to be able to host.Quote:

The college softball landscape is completely different than it was 10 years ago. The big money boys have really jumped in now, and someone like Clemson is already hosting a Regional.
No history, but with all their resources, they can immediately recruit the athletes and coaches to be successful.
They should not be eligible to host either. A minimum capacity of at least 1500 should be required.Quote:

Capacity is 1606 according to their website, with 1,000 chairbacks. they will bring in portable bleachers and can sit on the berm similar to LSU field.
Guys, not so long ago people were saying this about the Tigue. Sure we updated it and it's great, but Moo State and Ole Miss were complaining about us hosting and we told them to shove it.
Softball has a greater attendance disparity than Baseball. I just did a quick search of softball attendance and found 2019's records that are close enough to safely be representative of today (minus Clemson.)

Not a lot of people elsewhere in the U.S. attend softball games like we do. A thousand seat stadium is more than enough for all but a small percentage of schools. It does seem small for a name like Clemson, though.
It's unfortunate that Cajun fans can't get tickets, but it's pretty safe to say you won't have 1000 there for the Louisiana - Auburn matchup as you can imagine they are sold as packages. Since it's right after the Clemson - UNCW game, there should be a ticket to be had if you could not get one off the secondary market. Although, I understand driving that distance for a gamble doesn't sound great.
Clemson averages over 1,500 per game, they are in the top 10 in attendance.
So, I knew there were 1,000 chair backs. I do see where the last home game had 1616 in attendance. I'm assuming, they all sat on the berm. If so, why aren't there more available tickets for Cajun fans?Quote:

Yeah, Auburn is only 3-4 hours from Clemson while Wilmington is 5-6 hours. We are definitely the outsiders in Clemson as it is 10-11 hours from us. Best option for us is to fly to Charlotte on the new American direct from Lafayette and drive 2-1/2 hours to Clemson.Quote:

Probably a better option to fly to Atlanta on Delta. I think it's about the same distance to Clemson as Charlotte is. Of course it's a moot point since no tickets are available.Quote:

How man seats does Lamson hold, and what is the record attendance?
