About Provost Umphrey Stadium

Provost Umphrey Stadium is an outdoor collegiate football stadium located at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. The stadium reopened for Lamar football in 2010 when the program returned to competition, reviving a football tradition on a site that previously hosted Cardinal Stadium beginning in 1964 before the program was discontinued in 1989. Owned and operated by Lamar University, the venue seats approximately 16,000 spectators and serves as the home field for the Lamar University Cardinals football program.

The stadium primarily hosts NCAA college football, including Lamar Cardinals home games, annual Homecoming matchups, and Southland Conference contests against regional opponents such as Prairie View A&M. Its significance comes from its role in restoring Lamar football after roughly two decades away from the field, giving students, alumni, and Beaumont-area fans a central place to gather during the college football season.

Named for the Beaumont-based Provost Umphrey law firm, a longtime university benefactor, the stadium is known for its covered concourse area, state-of-the-art scoreboard, spirit bell, and campus gameday atmosphere.

Dining Options

Inside Provost Umphrey Stadium

Concessions are available along the covered concourse inside Provost Umphrey Stadium. For the smoothest experience, plan food and drink stops before kickoff or during natural breaks in the game, when lines may be easier to manage than peak pregame periods.

How Much Do Tickets to Provost Umphrey Stadium Cost?

Provost Umphrey Stadium ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team matchup, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from regular-season Cardinals football to Homecoming and high-demand Southland Conference matchups.

For Lamar Cardinals college football, general seating can start around $15 and typically ranges up to about $40, depending on the opponent, section, and demand. End-zone and upper sideline locations are generally the most accessible price points, while seats with stronger sideline views can cost more.

Premium and season seating is higher and varies by package. These options are tied to enhanced gameday experiences and can carry stronger demand for marquee dates, Homecoming, and key conference games.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection, particularly for Homecoming and high-demand conference matchups. As inventory tightens closer to kickoff, the best remaining sections can become harder to find at the strongest value.

Getting Ready for Your Provost Umphrey Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor college football stadium where parking, weather, and pregame crowds can shape the day.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Campus parking lots fill ahead of kickoff, so give yourself extra time to park, walk to the stadium, and get through security before the game starts.
• Wear the right footwear. Standard stadium stairs and concourse walking are part of the gameday experience, so comfortable footwear is recommended.
• Dress in layers. As an outdoor venue in Southeast Texas, Provost Umphrey Stadium can bring heat and humidity early in the season and cooler, potentially rainy conditions later. Dress for the forecast and bring sun protection when needed.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Home games bring additional traffic to the Lamar University campus, and arriving early helps avoid the heaviest pre-kickoff rush.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
