Changes Coming to Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.

It doesn't look to be shorter to me. If anything, taller, by just a little. Compare for yourself.

Thanks, that's the better perspective.

Upgrades are good. The red fence was old and an eyesore. I get the safety issue also. This is a good thing. Plaster Louisiana across it.

It would also be interesting to see if they decorate it with all the accolades. Championships, regionals, supers, WCWS. Imagine a team acknowledging accomplishments. Looking at you, football.

I'm thinking, maybe something like this. Only in black.

Would need more fencing.

I had seen the old fence listed as a safety concern by visiting teams. It also used to be no warning track, but that was resolved when they installed the turf field.

Yep. At the time, Lamson had the only field without a warning track in college softball. That's why players on other teams crashed into it. They couldn't find the warning track!

Yeah, things around here are beginning to look & feel like Arkansas State, or maybe Texas Tech.

Agree, our colors are Vermilion Red and white. I don’t care for any other colors

I see lazy ugly.

Would need more fencing.

Or smaller lettering.

I think, about 3 years ago, the NCAA wanted to implement having padded fences in all D1 Softball fields. There was a big cry from the smaller schools who said they couldn't afford putting in padding. It is still a hot topic.
. The Sun Belt Softball Tournament will be held at Lamson in May, 2023. There is an expanded number of teams this year. I think I heard that all ten teams will be at this tournament. Then, Coach Glasco seems to think his team will be in contention to host a Regional, if so, I feel the administration does not want to cause the NCAA to negate a Regional here at Lamson because there have been complaints about the fence. Also, the red fence was falling apart. Anyone sitting in the outfield was probably embarrassed to see the rotten boards from the 'other side.' Covering all the bases!

Making sure all our school colors are included . . .

Regardless of what you care for black is in the rotation. As a matter of fact the main sb uniform is black.
