TD's seating capacity is 24,505 and is reportedly expandable to 35k, however I suspect most of that is via permanent addition (e.g. expanding 2nd tier all the way around the park) and don't know how much is possible temporarily for CWS. Their record high is 28,846 at last year's CWS.
Men's basketball is a major revenue sport, so it is not a relevant comparison. I disagree with the "buzz" garnered overall by the women's regionals.
You're wrong about LAX because D-I only drew 26,749 for the final and 33K combined for the 2 semi's this year. Perhaps you're thinking of when LAX had much more higher attendance - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-06-18/ncaa-is-studying-lacrosse-championship-s-42-attendance-skid.
Congrats to your son's school for getting to the D-III semi's this year - too bad they didn't make it to the finals in Philthy-delphia where the D-I and D-II finals were also held.

Of course! That's the only reason I asked...
