UTSA Baseball shatters attendance records in historic 2026 season

Record-breaking crowds and championship success highlight a transformative year for the Roadrunners

The 2026 campaign will be remembered as a watershed moment for UTSA Baseball, as the program posted unprecedented attendance figures that dwarfed previous benchmarks.

Record-breaking crowds

During the season the team hosted 28 games at Roadrunner Field, drawing a total of 28,190 spectators and posting an average of 1,007 fans per game — both new school records that also translated to 100.7% of the venue’s capacity on average.

The Roadrunners finished the year with a 38‑20 record and secured a second consecutive American Conference regular‑season championship, underscoring the competitive strides made on the field.

Offseason activity reflected the growing enthusiasm, with a school‑record 403 season tickets sold, setting the stage for the surge in game‑day attendance.

Capacity was routinely exceeded, with 12 of the 28 home games attracting more fans than the stadium could physically hold, highlighted by a single‑game high of 1,585 spectators on May 12 against Texas State.

Program milestones

The program set new records across three straight home weekends, including a sweep of Dallas Baptist that marked the first series to average more than 1,000 fans per night, and a showdown with East Carolina that drew 3,371 total fans, establishing a new club benchmark of 1,124 per contest.

Conference standings placed UTSA fifth in both total and average attendance, a testament to the expanding fan base and the program’s rising national profile.

Looking ahead, the administration is already planning facility upgrades to keep pace with demand, signaling that the momentum generated in 2026 could fuel an even more ambitious future.
