I'm thrilled that Greenville will have the SoCon baseball tournament in 2009! The SoCon plays very good college baseball, and even though it isn't as highly ranked as the ACC or SEC, it is rated 10th out of 31 Division I conferences this season. And the SoCon has had 2 teams in the NCAA tournament for a few years consecutively now.
Unfortunately, it will be very hard to outdo Charleston in attendance because the local community (mainly Citadel fans) give great support to the tournament there. And even though Furman and Wofford have both played in the NCAA tournament in the past three seasons, Charleston and Citadel are historically better programs and have a larger fan base.
One thing in Greenville's favor is its proximity to the rest of the teams in the league as compared to Charleston. Each baseball-playing school in the SoCon is within 3 1/2 hours from West End Field, depending on how fast you can drive from Burlington, NC (Elon) and Statesboro, GA (Georgia Southern).
I plan on buying a ticket for the entire tournament!
