Turkey Hughes Field at Earle Combs Stadium is a baseball stadium in Richmond, Kentucky, United States. It is home to the Eastern Kentucky Colonels baseball team of the NCAA Division I Atlantic Sun Conference. The stadium opened in the 1966 and renovated in 2017, when it was renamed for EKU alumnus and former New York Yankee Earle Combs. Formerly, it was known simply as Turkey Hughes Field 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 initiative. In 2009, the university spent over $500,000 to install artificial turf, a batter's eye, and a brick backstop.^[1] Major renovations were made and completed in 2016.
