An MLB stadium will be pretty empty is my concern. A college venue seems more appropriate in this case.

I think it's about 23000, but they can get about 25000 with standing room and packing the general admission areas.

The sources I've found have shown the normal capacity is 24,000, but it's expandable up to 35,000. The record attendance is 26,271.
