There's also our media guide from last year on the softball page:

With the 2 wins, we are now 6-5 in the Lotief era. Yvette did not have a good record vs LSU

My observations from being at the game.
1. It was hot!
2. After the fourth inning, Jordan was spent. She won the game on guts, determination, heart and fight.
3. LSU's hitters are not very good. They had Jordan right where they wanted her and could not get it done.
4. Mike had his players mentally prepared to fight. Beth Torino did not.
5. LSU was the #9 national seed. They may have been the most over rated team in the nation.
6. Lady Cajuns, still undefeated at Tiger Park.

I wasn't able to get to the games in Baton Rouge, but I listened to every second on the radio. I know "Tiger Park" is a nice place and a lot of money was spent building it. But if you look at the actual posted capacites, "Lamson Park" is listed as being bigger. (2,700 to 2,400) I know that we didn't spend near the $$$$, but can anyone tell me how they think Lamson compares? I think we have a really nice softball facility here in Lafayette. Thanks.

My octogenarian neighbor who drove twice to BR to see games thinks that the LSU softball park is the most beautiful thing in the world---Think he loves his Cajun girls however----Would like to hear confirmation on the stadia capacities!!!

I'm sure LSU doesn't count the grass berms in the capacity, whereas we have bleachers out there. Guessing the grandstands are about the same

Their park is all concrete, so that probably accounts for a large part of the difference. Note, though, that a significant part of the difference is that we did not start and build ours from scratch. We had no site prep...no moving of dirt...didn't have to build up the ground for the entrance ramp and burm...didn't have to build a parking lot...or put up lights...or build dugouts.

Their park is pretty, but comes across as cold. Lamson Park...to me...is nicer looking, has more character, and is more easily accessible...both to stands from entrance and from stands to concessions and restrooms. And the fact that there isn't all that grape and yella crap all over the place doesn't hurt Lamson either.

I like Lamson.

Park comparisons at the top of the food chain are full of hair splitting and biased opinion. Having said that, here's my opinion. I watched the Cajuns here in the Austin Regional. I have been to Lamson. I have not visited Tiger Park. Based on the UT comparison, I think Lamson must be one of the best parks in the country. Top 20. Though I have not seen many parks, it is reasonable to assume with UT's success and funding, their park is a premier park. I like Lamson better. I cried the first time I saw Lamson. The red-bricked theme is just beautiful...and collegiate. Our girls have the palace to match thier perfirmance. Bottom line: I'm sure arguments can be made for one park or another, but UL will not lose a recruit because of facilities. No way. Lamson is on par with the best.

All time series champs baby!!!

The "burm" in the outfield is a nice touch.. sort of like sitting in the endzones at the football games... beyond that Lamson is a superior facility...
