Guest coachacola Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Average attendance for regular season games this year was 27,140, double the average in 2004 of 13,556. The school is doing close to $10 million at retail. Sales are up 250 percent to 300 percent, and that's coming off of a national championship season. The same fans aren't stocking their closets with shirts. The school is making new fans in places like Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Raleigh.Freshmen enrollment was about 2,900 last fall, but the school received almost 18,000 applications. Admission is more difficult and average SAT scores are up.We all know that App State is a FCS football powerhouse but bringing back football to Lamar should reap some of the same benefits.http://www.timesfreepress.com/absolutenm/templates/sports.aspx?articleid=26760&zoneid=6
