Changes Coming to Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park.

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.

They crash into the wall because we were sending shots off the wall and over the wall.

It took Gerald Hebert 20 years to pull this off but he has finally done it.

It all started with painting a rusted chain link fence black.

Do what? You need to explain yourself on this.

Thank you Gerald Hebert

I spoke to Dr. Maggard at the Clemson regional. He told me there were plans to change out the fence and upgrade the locker rooms. So far, he has delivered on one of those. I'm sure the other is in the works. Nice job!
