I'm sure Lamar's Stadium will soon include a new turf simular to this one too.  Just thought I would share.

Most of the turf is down, they just need to start stretching it out and gluing it together. The Spring Game is scheduled to be played on the new turf on April 24th.

Here is what the finished product will look like:

Yea, 

The are pretty close in capacity too.  McNeese never recounted after they added the new pres box.  Officially we hold 17,410.  But then they added the new Sky Ranch/Press Box, which holds around 500 on 4 decks. 

Unofficially, it will hold about 18,000 once they complete the new filed house in 2009, which will have about 100 seats in a new VIP lounge over looking the north endzone.

I think the main difference in Cardinal Stadium and Cowboy Stadium is the angle of the grand stands, Cowboys stadium is a little steeper than Cardinal stadium.  That is about it.

sure is lookin good!

[HouTexan]

Looks like a brand new stadium!

Very nice! Lamar needs to show something or people are going to feel left out.

I'm sure Cardinal Stadium will look great once they clean it up, re-paint it, and rebuild the Press Box and Field House.

I look forward to coming back to beaumont for a game again. We had a lot of fun there in the past. Cowboy fans are well known for how well we travel, Down Town Beaumont is gonna make a lot of money that weekend.

We brought 11,000+ fans to watch our Pokes beat up on City College of Lafayette last September. Here's a Photo, they had to split us up to keep us from making their own fans look bad for not supporting their team. We even had a few hundred or so in the North endzone.

[DP#1FAN]

That is great support! It says alot about the area.

Here is a link to the Turf Progress page. The last two links show some wide angle shots of the final product.

The players simply love it. They got to practice on it once and then they held the annual spring game on it.

man that is nice! that is what lamar's HAS to look like. plain and simple.

[BIGREDFAN2]

That's a really nice stadium, something to be proud of, but am just as impressed with the photography.  You must have some nice gear to be able to take those action shots.  I envision some white lens.

Beautiful photos, it's nice you have a place on the site to show your work.

Very nice stadium over there in Lake Charles. I can't wait to see what the football complex in Beaumont will look like!

DOC (McNeese72) is the official photographer of GeauxCowboys.com.  He's a McNeese Grad. in 1972 (thus the name), and has a Dental Practice in Sulphur.

He's not a professional Photographer, but I think he's probably as good as anyone.  And yes he has an impressive amount of Camera equipment.  It's his hobby and he's serious about it.  He really enjoys it and you can look at his archive and see that he spends a lot of time at all McNeese sporting events.

I tell you guys what...

If any of you want to come over this year for a game or too, just let me know and I will make certain we prepare a little more food at the GeauxCowboys.com tailgate tent. 

We're well know for feeding our visiting fans and sharing some brew with them over the years.  Ya'll are welcome any time.  Just post here and let me know which games you want to come and see.  I'm sure we can find some available seats in our section too.

Come by the Friday evening before any game and start the tailgating with us.  We typically have a band playing somewhere. 

Here is just a small peek of what tailgating at McNeese is like every week.  We start Friday nights and usually go untill the wee hours of each Sunday morning after our Saturday night games.
