In Jacksonville, Lamping has helped improve fans' game-day experience at EverBank Field while increasing ticket sales and strengthening business relationships throughout the city.

Khan says Lamping "has impressively served the Jaguars and, by extension, the National Football League. . Our business performance over the past three years has been nothing short of spectacular. From growing our brand regionally and internationally to seeing through our emphasis on improving the game-day experience at EverBank Field and much more, Mark has done it all."
