Provost Umphrey Stadium

Seating access to each of the stadium sides is provided at street level through a covered concourse.

Large photographic murals from games in the earlier days of the stadium are mounted on the concourse walls.

The Montagne Center Red Room, located above the VIP suites and overlooking the stadium, can accommodate up to 75 guests.

Overflow attendance can be accommodated by large grassy areas located on both the north and south sides of the stadium.

The two story Dauphin Athletic Complex, constructed in 2010, is located adjacent to the southern end of the stadium.

Provost Umphrey Stadium renovations and a new adjacent 54,000-square-foot (5,000 m2) athletic complex, detailed above, were completed for a combined total of $30 million.

Another component of the stadium renovation included the addition of a new video board[21] In July, 2021, the Hellas Matrix turf was replaced by Tarkett Fieldturf Classic HD Coolplay turf[1] On November 10, 2008, the stadium became Provost Umphrey Stadium in recognition of a $3 million contribution to Lamar University from the Provost Umphrey law firm and an additional $1 million gift from Walter and Sheila Umphrey.

In recognition for their support the 51' by 26' ft digital score board will permanently have Education First FCU displayed.
