During Kentucky baseball\u2019s Super Regional opener against Oregon State at Kentucky Proud Park, Wildcat fans helped set a new attendance record at the stadium.

This is the third<\/em> time this season that Kentucky Proud Park has set an attendance record. Back in April<\/a> against the then-No. 4 ranked Tennessee Volunteers, the Big Blue Nation filled KPP with 6,922 fans during the series opener on Friday before breaking it again that Saturday with 7,304 fans. <\/p>\n

Ahead of the SEC Tournament, UK decided to add an extra set of bleachers<\/a> to add even more fans in anticipation of a deep postseason run for Kentucky. The state-of-the-art $49 million stadium looks even better when it\u2019s filled with blue and white. <\/p>\n

Kentucky now has a chance to secure a spot in the program\u2019s first-ever Men\u2019s College World Series with another win against Oregon State on Sunday. Can we get up to 7,500 fans for the biggest game in school history? You\u2019ll need to keep the kids up a bit longer than usual<\/a> \u2014 first pitch is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. EST on ESPNU. <\/p>\n
