Stadium - Artist pics and new logo

[GeauxLamar]

I just happened to come across and see a few pictures of new artist plans and logo on this website. Not sure if this has been posted before, but these artist pics look really good and I can't wait for the season to start.

How did this organization get artist renderings of the stadium and we can't get any on the Lamar Athletics site nor in any of our local papers?  There has to be a complete set out there that Lamar should be putting out for promotion purposes.  Geez!  On a side note, I snuck into the stadium after the scrimmage Saturday and it is going to be really nice.  I was told that there will be luxury boxes on the North endzone next to the Montagne.  I could see that it could be expanded easily by bowling the south endzone.  They could also just go up higher on the East and West sides and get significant seating capacity.

Very interesting article.  Here's the drawings from the article:

There's also some schematics of the stadium and athletic complex that I'll try to post here tomorrow.

If you have not looked at the stadium in a few months...I would.  It is looking good.

Lamar is putting out bids for signage to the stadium and I grabbed this image from their documents.  All four corners of the stadium will have entrances like what they show in that artist drawing and the concourse wraps around to the athletic complex.  The top left walkway to the field is probably for the band.

But looking at the layout they could easily extend the seating to wrap around the corners of the field.  That would probably increase capacity to about 25K.  Then next they could add some small upper decks to increase capacity to over 35K.

Here's the layout of the athletic complex:
