LSU Baseball leaves this morning on a business trip to Omaha, and pretty soon, LSU fans will follow, bringing business of their own.

"The atmosphere is so much different," said Pat McEvoy, manager or Rocco's Pizza and Cantina, right across the street from Charles Schwab Field in Omaha.

McEvoy says it's not just the Jell-O shots challenge: LSU fans just like having a good time. He said a lot of the LSU business they get when the Tigers are in the College World Series doesn't even go to the game.

"They come to party, and if they get to watch the game, great. If not, then they're going to cook some good jambalaya and have a good time anyway," he said.

McEvoy says they're always delighted to host LSU fans, even if sometimes it gets to be a little much.

"Definitely a couple of days where we called last call a little bit early," said McEvoy, "because those LSU fans started at 6, 7, 8 am and they didn't stop until we kicked'em out."
