 This weekend's tournament brought baseball fans from all over the state and from several parts of the country. Brad Johnston came down from Minnesota to watch his son pitch for Creighton, and he's impressed with what he's found in Fayetteville. "This field is the nicest condition of any of the fields we've seen at the University of Nebraska or Missouri. This is a great facility here and I'm pretty impressed." Don Simmons of Tulsa agrees. "I thought OSU had good facilities but it doesn't really compare to this. In terms of convenience and how to accommodate people." And Arkansas fans aren't afraid to toot their own horn a little. "It's the best in the country, bar-none, Frank Broyles whether you like him or hate him, he's done a great job, he's got the money, he's put everything here, it's the best," says hog fan Ron Dornblaser. And baseball fans bring their best good luck charms when they come to a game. Vic Walker sports his one-of-a-kind razorback tattoo. Elizabeth Shafer of Springdale brings her OU chair to sit in before every Razorback game. "My OU chair is good luck for the hogs because everytime it's here, we win," she says. And others just keep their good luck charms more traditional. "Just with the Razorback red and something with Arkansas on it, that's the only thing I usually do before every game," says UA student Mason Wells.
