Yes, and it depends on how the teams are doing and who the games are against. Syracuse -UVA lacrosse is a big rivalry for the UVA Lacrosse fans.  When Drexel comes, they don't get as big a crowd.  It also depends on how recently you were at UVA when both had games going on. The UVA enthusiasm for Lacrosse has been there for decades. Enthusiasm for UVA baseball is a recent thing since Brian O'Connor has become the coach in the past 10 years. UVA is hosting a NCAA super regional this weekend, and it is sold out.

There has been good attendance for baseball recently, and Lacrosse has maintained its interest too. There were a few instances this spring where both were near capacity at the same time, and the school has been trying to schedule so that one game flows into the other and fans can attend both while they are there. Both stadiums are side by side as you state.
 
My point is that both can make some revenue. It might not cover all the expenses and fun other sports. But every little bit helps.
