From the special June 9th board of regents meeting:

2008-80 LU: Naming of Stadium Playing Field

Upon motion of Regent Truncale, seconded by Regent Pollard, with all regents voting aye, it was ordered that:

a) The President of Lamar University be authorized to accept and publicly announce a gift of $700,000 from an anonymous donor.

B) In appreciation of this most generous gift to the University and the Lamar football program, its students, and the people of Texas – and particularly Southeast Texas – the stadium playing field will be named the W. S. “Bud†Leonard Field.

President Simmons noted this item is a wonderful gift for a wonderful man. Regent Truncale also stated that it is a wonderful gift for a wonderful man and his wife.

Also from the same meeting:

2008-78 LU: Naming of Press Box

Upon motion of Regent Truncale, seconded by Regent Pollard, with all regents voting aye, it was ordered that:

a) The President of Lamar University be authorized to accept and publicly announce a gift of $1,000,000 from The Dan F. and Sandra A. Smith Foundation of Houston, Texas.

B) In appreciation of this most generous gift to the University and the Lamar football program, its students, and the people of Texas – and particularly Southeast Texas – the press box shall be named the Dan F. and Sandra A. Smith Press Box.

2008-79 LU: Naming of Montagne Center Red Room

Upon motion of Regent Truncale, seconded by Regent Amato, with all regents voting aye, it was ordered that:

a) The President of Lamar University be authorized to accept and publicly announce a gift of $1,000,000 from the Umphrey Family Limited Partnership on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Umphrey of Beaumont, Texas.

B) In appreciation of this most generous gift to the University and the Lamar football program, its students, and the people of Texas – and particularly Southeast Texas – the Red Room in the Montagne Center will be named the Walter and Sheila Umphrey Red Room.

Do you have more details than this?  How about drawings of the stadium or any new big donations?  Please spill the beans...

This field's for you, Bud

The Texas State University System Board of Regents approved the naming of the field at their June meeting.

Leonard was quick to note that only the turf - not the entire stadium - will be named for him.

"The stadium will probably bear somebody else's name," he said.
