Here is an updated link to the McNeese Stadium enhancement construction progress web site.

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:

that turf field really looks nice.  i think its interesting how other than color cardinal stadium and cowboy stadium are shaped almost identical.

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.

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.

any new pics to update?

McNeese72 has a few here from the Spring Game last week.  Once you open the link scroll sown a little until you see the 3 pages of links he has there next to the photo of the guy running with the ball.

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.

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.

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.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Goslin · Posted

      I don’t know about any rivalry there because I don’t live there but although LP and DP play in different classifications they still have a lot in common.  I mean, both beat Barber’s Hill this year!

      PNG playing in the boot state is wild

      By Lamar1996 · Posted

      I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.

      I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3

      Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
