Guest coachacola Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share 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.

Rebel Yeller Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coachacola Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
