John L. Guidry Stadium John L. Guidry Stadium has served as Nicholls foot- ball’s only home since the school began playing the sport on the intercollegiate level in 1972. The facility is named in honor of former Galliano state representative John L. Guidry who was instrumental in the establishment of Fran- cis T. Nicholls Junior College. The stadium features a three-level press box on the west side. The second level houses an area for game man- agement staff, radio and coaches’ booths and a working press area that was established following a renovation project that was completed prior to the 1999 season. The president’s suite and a new 30-seat club level, which was also part of the 1999 press box renovation, is located on the third level. A photo deck is located on the roof. Just prior to the start of the 2001 season, a new scoreboard, complete with graph- ic animation features as well as a new sound system was installed. Adjacent to the elevator landing at ground level is the Colonels’ Club Room. Colonels’ Club members use the building as a hospi- tality area before home games as well as for various university functions throughout the year. Guidry Stadium is located adjacent to the Frank Barker Athletic Building, which houses the Nicholls football coaches’ offices, locker rooms, the sports medicine department and the Office of Media Relations for Athletics. The Nicholls Strength & Conditioning facility and a 50-yard artificial turf field are located directly behind Barker Hall. The stadium was officially dedicated on September 16, 1972 as Nicholls defeated Ouachita Baptist 12-7. Hermon Grissom drilled a 37-yard field goal in the opening period for the first score in the stadium. Chris “Gator” Gardner caught a 27-yard pass from Lonnie Rogers for the first Colonel in the stadium as Nicholls came from behind to win. The facility was originally referred to as Colonel Stadium but was renamed in Guidry’s honor Sept. 15, 1973. In 33 seasons, the Colonels have posted a 90-78-3 record in Guidry Stadium. In 1975, Nicholls captured the championship with an 8-2 record, including a 6-0 mark at home. The 1996 Colonels capped the program’s 25th Year-by-Year in Guidry anniversary season by going 5-1 in Guidry Stadium.

COLONELS 95 Battle for the Paddle

Battle for the Paddle Ever since 1998, whenever Nicholls and Texas State meet on the gridiron they have been engaged in the annual “Battle for the Paddle.” The idea for the contest was born in 1998 after a Nicholls-Texas State game had to be rescheduled due to floods that ravaged the San Marcos, Texas area. Each season, a paddle is presented to the con- test’s victor in memory of area residents who lost their lives in the flood. The wooden paddle is painted with the grey and red of Nicholls on one side and maroon and gold of Texas State on the other side. Nicholls has held onto the paddle for four of the last five years.
