Peak Events, LLC, announced on Thursday the field for the fourth annual Live Like Lou Las Vegas College Baseball Classic at Las Vegas Ballpark on Friday-Sunday, March 5-7, 2027. The teams participating in the event are LSU, Arizona State, Iowa, and Oregon State.
The 2027 Live Like Lou Las Vegas Classic will include three days of play at Las Vegas Ballpark, which serves as the home of the Athletics’ Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas Aviators. The weekend tournament will have two games per day in a round-robin format. The full schedule, including matchups and game times, will be finalized soon.
After the three-game tournament, LSU will remain in Las Vegas and face UNLV on Monday, March 8, in a single game at Earl E. Wilson Stadium on the UNLV campus.
“We’re excited to welcome everyone back for the fourth annual Live Like Lou Las Vegas Classic,” said Ryan Holloway, Founder and CEO of Peak Events. “Each year this event continues to grow, and we’re proud to once again bring four of the nation’s premier programs together at the incredible Las Vegas Ballpark. Thanks to outstanding partners like the Las Vegas Aviators and the Live Like Lou Foundation, we’re looking forward to delivering another first-class experience for the teams, fans, and the entire college baseball community.”

LSU has played in three previous Peak Events classics, winning all three tournaments. The Tigers captured the championship belt in the 2023 Round Rock (Texas) Classic, the 2025 Frisco (Texas) Classic, and the 2026 Live Like Lou Jax Classic in Jacksonville, Fla.
The 2027 event will mark the second time the LSU Baseball program has traveled to Las Vegas. The Tigers last played in Las Vegas on March 8-9, 1991, when they won two of three games over UNLV in a regular-season series.
