Louisiana Tech Development (Championship Resources)

 
 
On April 27, 2024, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place to unveil the new Jim Mize Track and Field entrance and fence. John Allen, a 1973 business graduate of Louisiana Tech and Tower Medallion recipient who was a member of the Southland Conference track and field championship team under coach Mize, provided remarks as did guest speakers University President Dr. Jim Henderson and Director of Athletics/Vice President Ryan Ivey.

In December 2023, construction began on the new Jim Mize Track & Field entrance located off of Stadium Boulevard. The new entrance features prominent signage, lighting, and landscaping for a more welcoming entrance into the Jim Mize Track and Field Complex.

In addition to the new entryway, a new black wrought iron fence with brick columns was added to help enclose the track and field and football practices areas. The perimeter of the fence stretches from Tech Drive to West Alabama Avenue and around Stadium Boulevard.
