Ole Miss/MSU is claiming the "most ever to watch an on-campus college baseball game. 15K. I know that nobody counted, but might there have been more than 15K at that legendary game in 1989?

Doubtful, but close. Olsen's capacity was only about 5,300. There were tons of people on the tracks, but I doubt there were 10,000.

Lots of people there but nowhere near 15K.
Remember the RF bleachers were not there in 1989 either.
Most I recall at Olsen would be the Saturday night Baylor game in 1999.
It was estimated 11k were there which included Aggie Alley but since there was no admission charged for AA then only those inside Olsen counted towards official attendance.
But no there has never been 15K for a game at Olsen field even including Aggie Alley.

I was there. There wasn't 10k there. Probably around 7k total. The '99 season would be the ones to try and get an estimated record.

I think the Saturday 1998 Texas game is the one that we used to claim 8,400 in the stands and a total of something like 11k including Aggie Alley.

Our biggest crowds would be after the 93 season when the RF bleachers were put up

One of the cool things was a fan beyond the right field fence who rented a lifter (similar to the vehicle that lifts electrical line workers to the top of power lines). I seem to recall him with an Aggie flag up there as well. Electric atmosphere. Complete euphoria after the grand slam.

Cool when a train came by.

Every home game in '89...

I know it's not the point of your question but I attended the entire series.

First game was a bummer. the second one we jumped out to a big lead but it looked like we'd lose that one too. big come back and the place went nuts. John Byington!

watched game 2 on HSE and game 3 on ESPN. in 89 i was still several years away from aggieland, though.

I was there for both games...unbelievable atmosphere!

Does anyone have video of the grand slam? I have been looking for it but can only find the night game.

Thanks

I was there, my Senior year.

Don't see the grand slam anywhere but here's the night game.

I was at all three games. What a weekend! (And there's no way it was over 10-12K.)

Yeah...I have seen the night one. My old man was on a ladder and I was sitting on a utility box right under where the home run went and i always wanted to see if we were on the video.

I was present in the stands and at the party on the tracks.

I was there for the entire series. Was bummed when Friday's game got rained out, even more bummed when Dressendorfer shut us down Saturday, and thrilled with the way it all worked out.

I was

Was there - Probably between 10,000 and 11,000. Very difficult to predict the overflow crowd especially without the RF bleachers..

All three games here. And almost every home game that season. Just an unbelievable team that went cold at the worst moment (FU Ben McDonald).

Here

Yep, on the tracks for the final game. Was very loud at games end.

I was there. First base line about 4 rows above the dugout. I was a junior in HS.

I was there. Had season tickets two rows behind aggie dugout. Had to leave for work on Saturday game before the wild comeback.

I was there for the dramatics but missed the start of the game as I was out of town and flying into Easterwood more than half-way through. When I jumped in the car from the airport and headed to Olsen we were losing big. When I arrived, we won! Thank goodness I got there before 3 outs. I still think the win might be all because of me

steroids......steroids...... steroids......

i also remember some female tsip basketball player talking trash and having to walk away from game #2 in tears.

I was watching the game on tv, but I seem to remember that the broadcast was preempted. Maybe it wasn't and I just decided that I needed to be there in person. Either way, I drove over to campus and got to see that last half-inning from the tracks.

All 3.

I was at all 65 games in 1989.....it was a season that will NEVER be duplicated!

I was there in 203 for the series

I just posted the bottom of the 9th inning of the day game to YouTube...

Prophetic statement comes at 1:35 of the video.

What an unbelievable day.
