Houston group to design Lamar stadium upgrade

Houston Business Journal

Houston office of architectural firm Leo A. Daly Co. has been selected to upgrade Cardinal Stadium at Lamar University in Beaumont.

The design work includes general improvements to the 17,000-seat stadium, including the installation of premium suites and new concession areas, as well as a separate athletic field house with locker room facilities.

The selection process for the project’s construction management firm is under way. Work is expected to begin later this year and be finished in time for the university’s return to college football in 2010.

Lamar University discontinued its football program in 1989. The existing stadium had been used for the university’s soccer teams as well as local high school football games.

“Reviving the football program has long been a dream of this university,” said Jimmy Simmons, Lamar University president. “The planned upgrades will bring us one step closer toward realizing that dream.”

Leo A. Daly, based in Omaha, Neb., has 24 offices worldwide.
