My OCD kicked in watching that short clip.

Yea, they have not gone into great detail with much inside video or photos for that matter. Kind of a secret, except for the ones who are in the inner circle loop.  I know the basketball and volleyball programs are happy and anxious to move in the place.     Never thought I would see the day that Lufkin football took a backseat in facilities to basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball.  SMH

I know the weather has played havoc with finishing the concrete, landscaping and fencing outside.   The Gym floor was the next to be striped and marked earlier this month.  The finishing work is always slow.

It certainly has been worth the wait to have some of the very best sports facilities in all of East Texas.   Now, if we can dress up Abe Martin a little more, at least make it match the NEW Multi-Purpose foot print, then maybe an expansion of the existing Indoor Practice, Lufkin would then have the whole sports package.

Starting to have that finished look on the outside @ New LHS Multi Purpose. Very nice.

This will be the new entrance the dressing rooms for visiting football teams. Also the little window on the corner is the new media production booth for the scoreboard.

So will there be football locker rooms for home and away in the new gym or just away?

We were told the visiting teams would dress in the practice gym dressing rooms in the new multi purpose, which are located on the visitor side of the field to the left of the score board.  Don't know about the Panthers, since they usually get dressed in the Elmer Redd Complex and take the short walk over to the stadium. 

Maybe they will work something out and use the multi purpose at halftime, because the new place has air conditioning, while the old dressing rooms under Abe were originally fitted with one exhaust fan in the wall, plus the showers have not worked in either dressing room for several years. I think the Lufkin side has had a couple big water cooled fans and a window A/C above a door installed for a few years now, but there's nothing like that in the visitor side dressing room.  It's absolutely been a stinky hot old mildew filled place for the visiting teams coming here to play Lufkin. I think there is electric heat in there, if it works, but that's about it.

Legacy did not use the new Multi Purpose to dress out, so that information given to us was not accurate.  We will say no more until we see if something else happens. What they have now at the High School is very nice, and we are very grateful for these beautiful additions on the LHS Campus.

If you have not made it over to see the New Lufkin Multi Purpose, it is quite impressive.  Here is a complete photo tour of the entire facility.  This is a facility that was long over due for Lufkin, and something to be proud of for many years.
