Tidbits from the university master plan
Looking forward, the master plan includes several improvements and changes. Included are upgrades to existing athletic facilities as well as new construction. Below are some athletics facility related tidbits I noticed while skimming through the document.

Link - 2019 LU Campus Master Plan

Near term - 2022-2024 (See pages 46 & 47, 54 & 55)
1. Vincent-Beck Stadium (baseball stadium) renovations
2. Brick facades on south campus facilities (softball and soccer)
3. Upgrade to on-campus tennis facilities

Long term - 2025-2029 (See pages 60-62, 64-65, 67)
Indoor practice facility - 60,000 to 110,000 GSF
Quote:60,000 to 100,000 GSF new construction. Contains a full-size practice field and indoor track. Includes relocation of adjacent outdoor practice field.

Horizon (2030+) (See pages 68, 71-72)
1. Parking garage located north of football stadium
Quote:By providing additional peak-demand parking, more of the space on the north side of the stadium may be allocated to public use, including tailgating and gathering spaces to enhance the game day atmosphere. Thoughtful connections to the parking garage – including an improved pedestrian bridge crossing South Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, a walkable promenade to the Stadium, and a stop on the campus circulator – will make the investment in the facility more valuable to more potential users.
2. Stadium plaza adjacent to Provost-Umphrey Stadium and Montagne Center
Quote:The Provost Umphrey Stadium and Montagne Center figure centrally in Lamar University’s traditions and memories, hosting games, graduation ceremonies and events. The space around the two stadiums should be designed as a welcoming plaza space, providing students and visitors an opportunity to gather and celebrate. This space should transition seamlessly to the bridges that connect pedestrians to the central campus.
