$4 milllion

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

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!

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.

I don't like the green and gold... it doesn't match anything but the stadium will be nice.

Looks like green to me

[Guest mffl]

Thats what i meant haha. Thanks.

Great for Lamar!!!!!!! That will be a help in recruiting.

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]

are they going to leave the natural turf or put in artificial?

What we know so far;artifical turf, new seats, stadium beautification, and maybe new VIP suites. So it'll

look much different than before.

I hope there is good food in the VIP suites.
