UL Softball Remains in Top Ten in Attendance

As is normally the case, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns are drawing extremely well for their respective home games at Yvette Girouard at Lamson Park in 2020.

The Cajuns currently rank 8th in average attendance per game.

Louisiana also currently ranks 12th in the nation in overall attendance in the latest college softball attendance figures, and will certainly rank higher, once they play more home games.

This is nothing new for Louisiana, who ranked 7th in average attendance last season.

Heading into the week, UL is 16-6 on the season, including a 7-1 home record, having drawn 11,092 fans.

The Cajuns, who returns home on Wednesday, hosting Sam Houston in a non-conference doubleheader, plays host to the Appalachian St. Mountaineers in a Sun Belt Conference series this weekend.

Louisiana set a Lamson Park record in a February 15 win over LSU, drawing 3,107 fans.

Alabama, who has drawn 45,048 fans, through 13 home games, ranks number one in the country, followed by LSU, who has drawn 25,726 through 17 home games.

Florida ranks third on the list, having drawn 23,422 fans through 15 games, with Clemson checking in fourth, after drawing 23,264 through 15 home games.

Texas A&M rounds out the top five, having drawn 19,656 through 17 home games.

In terms of average attendance, Louisiana ranks 8th, averaging 1,387 fans a game, one of only 14 schools in the nation that are averaging more than 1,000 fans, including the only school from a non-Power Five Conference.

And actually, Louisiana likely ranks even better in attendance, as they're averaging over 1,900 fans per home contest. The issue is that it seems as though the Cajuns, in the dates that 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.

Five weeks into the regular season, Alabama ranks at the top in average attendance, averaging 3,465 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 three years.

These attendance stats prove once again that Yvette Girouard at Lamson Park is always a special place for UL softball!
