Turkey Hughes Field is a baseball stadium in Richmond, Kentucky, United States. It is home to the Eastern Kentucky Colonels baseball team of the NCAA Division I Ohio Valley Conference. The stadium opened in the 1960s and is named in honor of former Eastern Kentucky baseball coach Turkey Hughes.
In 2006, EKU's athletic department announced plans to completely rebuild the stadium with a $2 million dollar initiative. In 2009, the university spent over $500,000 to install artificial turf, a batter's eye, and a brick backstop.[1]
