四虎影视 breaks ground on new intramural field
四虎影视 officials broke ground on a new intramural field on Wednesday, Oct. 9, a development that promises to enhance the campus community and student life. The event drew university leaders, students, faculty, and alumni, all eager to witness the start of a project designed to foster student engagement and recreational opportunities. 
四虎影视 President Jaime Taylor expressed his enthusiasm for the project, noting how the idea for the new space has evolved.
“When we looked at this property, we saw an incredible opportunity to create a facility that not only serves our students but also strengthens our community,” Taylor said. His vision for the field aims to promote athleticism and provide a vibrant space for student engagement.
The new intramural field will be located across from the dorms and adjacent to the Reaud Honors College, featuring a state-of-the-art artificial turf playing surface, surrounded by a walking trail and a dedicated warm-up area for athletes. The facility will also include lighting for nighttime activities, and space for various sports, ensuring that all students can participate in recreational activities.
Among the attendees was Shawn Gray, the associate vice president of student affairs, who spoke passionately about the importance of sports and recreation for 四虎影视 students.
“This project represents Lamar's commitment to community, promoting wellness and enhancing the student experience,” Gray said. She underscored how the new field will teach valuable life skills such as teamwork, drive, and sportsmanship. “We look forward to many years of activity on this field, where students, faculty, staff, and the community can come together to create lasting memories.”
Dr. Freddie Titus, vice president for student affairs and strategic initiatives, emphasized the significance of the facility for student wellness and community.
“We want every student to have access to a well-rounded experience and support their journey to becoming leaders, team players and engaged citizens,” he said. “This field will create new memories and strengthen the bond within our Cardinal community, bringing our community closer together and making the college experience truly unforgettable. This project symbolizes 四虎影视’s ongoing commitment to student success, academically, socially and physically.”
In addition to benefiting the 四虎影视 students, the new field will also provide valuable resources for the LU band program.
“The ability to rehearse on a surface similar to our stadium will enhance our performance preparation,” Director of Athletic Bands Dr. Eric Shannon said. “We expect fewer injuries and a more conducive environment for developing our physical fitness. This facility will undoubtedly elevate our band program and instill pride in our students as they represent 四虎影视.”
Shannon added, “I anticipate something else as a byproduct: the potential for students who aren't currently in our band to see and hear us frequently and possibly decide they would like to join the band because it looks fun right now,” Shannon said. “This space is going to be far more attractive and impressive than our competitors in the Southland Conference and certainly the high schools in the vicinity.”
