Texas A&M University-Commerce sports fans will be
treated to in-game replays, statistics and live video feed at MemorialMemorialStadiumScoreboard
Stadium thanks to a new 55-by-31 feet scoreboard, which is currently the
second largest in NCAA Division II.

"Having a scoreboard this size will give our university a first-class
opportunity to showcase our student-athletes, coaches and fans," said
Carlton Cooper, A&M-Commerce athletic director. "Enhancing and upgrading
our facilities has been a priority for our department since my first day
on the job."

The scoreboard, manufactured by Daktronics, was constructed on the south
side of the stadium. It was just one of the many significant upgrades at
Memorial Stadium this summer, which included the addition of 3,000 seats
on the east side of the stadium. Three hundred of the seats will have
chair backs and feature drink holders for fans, and will serve as the
home section for Commerce ISD.

A six booth press box, concession stand and light fixtures around the
track and football field were also a part of the renovations at Memorial
Stadium.
All Texas A&M University-Commerce Hopkins County alumni, students and friends are cordially invited to a reception on Tuesday, Sept. 28 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express on 421 Industrial Drive East in Sulphur Springs.

Alumni will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Dan R. Jones, University President and reconnect with fellow Lions; discover what's new on campus and support the future students of Hopkins County.  Refreshments will be served.

The host committee includes Butch & Patsy Bolton, Martin Braddy, Chris Brown, Tony & Susan Cook, Wayne Davenport, Wayne & Wanda Galyean,  Shonda Gibson, Tory Humphries, Dr. Kayla Price, Mick & Wanda Trusty.
