Lamar University will unveil its brand new athletic complex to the public on Sunday, April 3 from 2 to 5 p.m. giving Lamar Cardinal fans an unprecedented opportunity for a behind-the-scenes look at the state-of-the-art facility. Combined, the stadium and complex represent a $28 million investment that accompanied the return of football to Lamar.
Members of the Lamar Ambassadors will conduct the tours. University and athletics department officials also will welcome the public at the event and provide in-depth information about the specialized areas of this magnificent facility.
The complex is "definitely the best in the Southland Conference - easily on par with what you would expect to see at the University of Houston or Rice," said Jason Henderson, associate athletics director. "Lamar officials made every effort to ensure that this is a first-class facility."
The 54,000-square-foot athletic complex lies at the south end of Provost Umphrey Stadium. Instead of going to several different places on campus, the complex has everything student athletes need. The locker rooms, weight training and academic centers are all in one area, which greatly benefits members of all Lamar University athletics teams.
