KFDM COOP Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Lamar Cardinals will play in Provost Umphrey Stadium By The Enterprise November, 10, 2008 Lamar University's Cardinals Stadium will be renamed Provost Umphrey Stadium when the school plays football again in 2010, according to a press release today.
Guest coachacola Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Great news! Now let's see the artist renderings of the stadium. Add $4 million to the $2.7 million already donated for the stadium, that's $6.7 million. Since private donations have to cover at least 25% of the cost of renovations, LU could spend as much as $26.8 million on the stadium and athletic complex. Update From KBTV: Provost-Umphrey Law Firm Donates $3 Million To Lamar Football Program; Umphrey Donates An Additional $1 Million Link: http://setxhomepage.com/content/fulltext/?cid=27661
Rebel Yeller Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 What a great gesture by them to Lamar. I believe that having football back at Lamar is a great thing and with the stadium renovations it will become a great place to play HS playoff games in the future!

Guest abovetherim Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Great news for Lamar University and a big thank you to Shelia and Walter Umphrey! Plus, there will be naming rights given for the new fieldhouse. I think you could add an additional $1 million or more there.
Guest mffl Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 I don't like the green and gold... it doesn't match anything but the stadium will be nice.
DP#1FAN Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Great for Lamar!!!!!!! That will be a help in recruiting.
Guest coachacola Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Dr. Simmons said they are still not done with the fund raising for football. I bet they get one more large donation for the naming rights to the athletic complex. I don't have any inside info on that, just a guess.
horndawg Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 are they going to leave the natural turf or put in artificial?

UNLV Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 basically going to be a brand new stadium then I take it? What we know so far;artifical turf, new seats, stadium beautification, and maybe new VIP suites. So it'll look much different than before.
