FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas set new records for actual and paid attendance at Baum Stadium for Razorback Baseball games in 2007. The Hogs sold a record 233,350 tickets for an average of 8,047 tickets per game. Actual attendance during the 2007 was 165,298, also a school record.

“The fans support of Razorback Baseball at Baum Stadium is incredible,” said Dave Van Horn, Head Baseball Coach. “It is truly a special place to play and our fans have so much to do with it.”

The average of 8,047 is a new national record for tickets sold. No school in the history of the NCAA has ever averaged over 8,000 tickets sold per game.

The previous mark was held by Mississippi State with 29,615 set against Georgia in 2005.
