I know we have one of the best if not THE best college baseball atmospheres at Olsen but I was just wondering how many more colleges offer any type of really fun game experience that is more unique than just a good baseball game? My daughter goes to Oklahoma State and their stadium is nice but it was very vanilla as far as a game experience. And I'm not looking for something as wild and crazy as Olsen can get but just somewhere that offers a really unique experience if they are even out there. I have only been to Oklahoma State, TCU, and UTA for non Aggie games so I didn't know and of course OMAHA but that is its own thing. Anyone know of any either for Aggie opponents or in general?

Most SEC ballparks have a good atmosphere imo.

Alex Box/LSU is pretty legendary, and we're playing there this season. MSU and Arkansas have badass stadiums, but they're coming here. Ole Miss has a pretty fun atmosphere for another ballpark we're going to in 2026, they do beer showers every time they hit a HR.

Most of the SEC, but especially MSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, LSU, Tennessee, and South Carolina.

Florida State is pretty fun.

I enjoyed Georgia Tech, but more for the setting than the atmosphere. Same with Pepperdine. Arizona State and USC have a lot of history, but no atmosphere.

Other stadiums I've been to were enjoyable, but mainly because I like going to new stadiums. None of them are much to look at and have zero atmosphere - Houston, Rice, Texas, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, Texas State, DBU, TAMU-CC, UTSA, Sam Houston, Arizona, Tulane, Memphis, and South Alabama.

I love Dallas Baptist's park. It isn't much, but is a great place to watch a game.

Agreed, but the atmosphere isn't anywhere near what you find at the other places. And I'm a huge DBU guy - love the Pats.

Plus, their fans are too nice. ;-)

You nailed Arizona State. I live near their campus and 1,000 fans at an off campus stadium by the zoo isn't it. It's a hockey school now anyway.

I went to a Tuesday night game when the Aggies played there a number of years ago and I was impressed with the atmosphere at that game. It was a smaller stadium but packed and quite a even mix of Aggie and DBU fans. The Aggie fans there were of course helping to add to the atmosphere but I was very surprised with how awesome that atmosphere was for what was essentially a random Tuesday non-conference game.

I can't speak to their atmosphere in general, but if we end up playing there again...

I'd say Dudy Noble, the Box, and BaumWalker should top any list.

Also, Nebraska has a shockingly nice stadium that dates back to a time when they were a nationally-relevant program.

I'd like to check out App State's field just for the surroundings:

Outside of the SEC, I've always heard that East Carolina is a pretty awesome environment.

But I don't think environment can be beat in the majority of SEC schools. Oregon State is probably up there too.

Personally, I'd like to take in games at ballparks in beautiful backdrops- so probably lots of stuff out west in the mountains. And of course, Pepperdine's field in Malibu.
