BATON ROUGE - Fans are being invited to celebrate the eight-time national champion LSU baseball team at Alex Box Stadium on Wednesday following the Tigers' win in Omaha over the weekend.

Gates for the event will open at 7 p.m. and it will be streamed live on WBRZ+.

Prior to the celebration, fans can enjoy a musical performance by Rising Country Star and current LSU Tiger Timothy Wayne. The team celebration will begin at 8 p.m. and is expected to last approximately one hour.

The celebration will include the presentation of the national championship trophy, along with remarks from several dignitaries. Head coach Jay Johnson will address the crowd along with members of the baseball team. The celebration will conclude with a fireworks show.

"I'm really excited for the celebration," assistant coach Josh Jordan said. "[We have] an opportunity to come back and thank the great fans of LSU baseball. We have the best fans in the world."

He said that the victory celebration is not just a time to honor the team and coaching staff but the entire Tiger community. 

"When you're out recruiting and talking about why a young man should chose LSU, it's obviously the tradition, the development, the opportunity to become a major league player, the support from the best baseball fans in the country," Jordan said. "It's the best place in the country to play college baseball."

Some fans lined up as early as 4 p.m., hours before gates opened.

"I don't care if it's hot or not, I am an old ball player anyway. I am proud of these guys and they play real hard in every game they played, so I am here to support them in their championship," one fan said.

Another fan, Kyle Gerber, says LSU's winning ways recruited him to enroll as a student this fall.

"I didn't know what I wanted to do, but LSU came on my radar. How can you not appreciate the culture that LSU has? Coming from Los Angeles, LA to LA, I got accepted, really pumped to be here," Gerber said.

Tiger fans were also able to buy LSU’s National Championship gear and merchandise at the Box.
