Sports sponsorship: Angelo State University will add baseball to its men's athletics program during the 2004-05 academic year. The Rams will play at Foster Field, home of the San Angelo Colts professional baseball team. "With the availability of Foster Field," said Athletics Director Jerry Vandergriff, "we are able to start a baseball program without having to make a capital investment in a stadium of collegiate quality." He said that adding the program would satisfy one of the most frequent requests among Angelo State students and would provide more athletics participation opportunities. The $2.9 million stadium can accommodate 4,200 fans.
