The arithmetic mean of these numbers is 2n.
The old definition was "a(n) = product of 2n distinct numbers, n just less than 2n and n just more than 2n."

FORMULA
a(n) ~ 3^(3*n+1/2) * n^(2*n) / (2*exp(2*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 21 2014
From Robert Israel, Jan 16 2017: (Start)
a(n) = (3*n)!/(2*n!).
a(n+1) = 3*(3*n+2)*(3*n+1)*a(n). (End)
EXAMPLE
a(3) = (3*4*5)*(7*8*9).
