Provost Umphrey Stadium

Provost Umphrey Stadium is a multipurpose sports facility on the Lamar University campus in Beaumont. The venue accommodates approximately 15,000 spectators and features an artificial playing surface along with modern display technology.

The facility opened in 1964 as Cardinal Stadium and served as the home venue for the university for decades. In 2008 it received its current name following a significant donation from the Provost Umphrey law firm.

The stadium serves as a gathering place where students, families, and local sports fans come together for football games and community events. These occasions shape the social rhythm of Beaumont and create shared memories across generations.

The facility is located at 4400 South Martin Luther King Jr Parkway and provides wheelchair accessibility throughout. Multiple food and beverage concession areas are distributed around the venue for visitor convenience.

The 2009 renovation incorporated structural elements designed to allow potential expansion to accommodate up to 28,000 spectators in the future. This forward-thinking design reflected long-term planning for the university's growth.
