Yes, we have some photos of last weekend’s series!
Morgan Gilman attended the Illinois series against LSU in Baton Rouge at the new Alex Box Stadium last weekend and snapped some photos while she was there.
Many thanks to Morgan for passing these photos on to me!
Here’s a good shot of the interior of Alex Box from the left field line.

In a previous post, talking about about the capacity of Alex Box Stadium (some 9000+), I surmised they probably do pretty well in terms of filling the seats. Looking in the stands, it looks like they do all right. Not SRO or anything but the sections are pretty well represented.
I like this Saturday photo for a couple reasons. One, it shows Willie Argo’s tremendous linescore for his college debut game: 3 for 3, 3 HR, 5 rbis.
Second, with the tiny little people underneath it, it gives you an idea how ginormous the Alex Box Stadium scoreboard really is.
According to Morgan, this photo was taken with one out to go in Sunday’s 6-2 win. All Illini already not on the field, are on the top steps of the dugout.
Note the guy in the SEC tee-shirt with head down. My guess is that he’s either hanging his head in shame or looking for his keys to make a quick getaway.
Again, thanks to Morgan Gilman for taking these photos and passing them on. Speaking for those of us who can’t make the road trips, we really appreciate a good look at the team on the road.
