History of the football team
Lamar fielded a football team until 1989, then dropped the program due to skyrocketing costs and declining attendance. The university is currently in the process of bringing the football team back, the earliest it could begin fielding a team would be 2010. It is expected they will then join the Southland Conference in 2010 or 2011, as they are already a member in all other sports.
