[Guest coachacola]

Maybe they'll use dynamite!! 

[Guest mffl]

About time!!

[lu cards]

rode by earlier and its almost gone.

[Guest coachacola]

Here's a snapshot of the webcam from about 6:30 today.  They have over half of the old field house torn down.

I know it had to go....But it still is sort of sad......It was the field house when I was at Lamar in the 70s.  :-\

Maybe they'll use dynamite!!  

They could have saved money. Used the football players in their pads to knock it over! : :

Waiting on the scoreboard to come crashing down.

You mean they're not saving it to put on top of the new athletic complex? 

[AshlyHasBeen]

The new one is slightly bigger, jumbo tron is bigger than PN-G's and BISD's proposed one. It's supposed to be 75 tall in all! that's just the board not on the polls.

[LUFAN]

Is that about the same size as UH?

Also, any news on a new scoreboard/ sound system in the montagne center?

[Guest coachacola]

Only the old scoreboard is still standing!!

[Lazeek]

[LUFAN]

Came down at exactly 3:53 pm.  I was so lucky to have gone to the site at 3:52...

[AJ25]

get the dumpsters in there!

when is construction scheduled to start on the new athletic complex?

[Guest coachacola]

Not much left of the old field house.  I'm guessing that as soon as they finish cleaning up the mess they'll start on the new athletic complex.

In a few months we should start seeing a steel structure looking something like this:

I'm guessing that this fieldhouse will occupy most of the parking lot?

[Guest coachacola]

Where's everyone going to park when they start having football games?  They should build a parking garage next to the Montagne Center.

[LUFAN]

Thats a little much dont you think coach... I am not sure were we will have enough parking... even for basketball games.

[AJ25]

There is plenty of parking through the school, and there is the walk way across the highway that will connect the school parking lots and the football stadium. Yeah, it's a little bit of a walk, but they won't be building any parking lots. Atleast until it is proven that they are necessary/

[KDOSullivan]

There is plenty of parking, but you may have to walk from old Brooks-Shivers Hall....When I was in college, I remember walking from the Maes Building  tothe Cardinal Stadium for marching band practice and it was closer than walking to the old marching practice field behind the women's gym.  I wonder how much of a hump it will be now that I am in my "older" years?  

I am showing my age now.....Is there still a women's gym near the biology building? Are there still animals on the walls in the biology building?

[AIW]

The animals are still there lol. Cool overall  but a little creepy at night
