Anyone still questioning WHY we wanted SNOW to get their website for the 99 xmas season? Fogdog holiday orders up 750 percent Online sporting goods seller gets solid ranking By Liza Roberts, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 7:08 AM ET Jan 4, 2000 NewsWatch REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Online sporting goods retailer Fogdog Sports said Tuesday it received 750 percent more orders between Thanksgiving and Christmas in 1999 than it did the year before, outpacing its nearest competitor 3-to-1 in terms of November visitors. The announcement comes one day after shares of the company -- which went public last month -- surged 5 3/8, or 57 percent, to 14 7/8 after JP Morgan initiated coverage of Fogdog (FOGD: news, msgs) with a "buy" rating and set a 12-month price target of $25 on the stock.

The company said new figures from Net research firm Media Metrix show Fogdog attracted three times as many visitors in November as its closest competitor, which it did not name. Media Metrix also ranked Fogdog as the only sporting goods e-tailer among 100 top shopping sites, the company said.
