Tarleton Football had the #3 attendance in all of D2 last season. Memorial Stadium currently (after recent expansion) holds 10,000, so they averaged 90% capacity at 8,952 per game, with rival games against WTAMU and Commerce going way over capacity.

As a conference the LSC had 4 teams in the Top-10. If the WAC is looking for more D2 football-playing schools to move up, look no further than the LSC. Especially WTAMU.

"The Texans had the highest total attendance and per-game average of any team in the Lone Star Conference this season, ahead of Midwestern State (6th / 7,703), West Texas A&M (7th / 7,646) and Texas A&M-Commerce (8th / 7,450). As a conference, the LSC finished second in Division II with 250,736 total attendance and averaged 5,117 fans across nine institutions."
