John "Sonny" Allen Field is a baseball venue in Morehead, Kentucky, United States. It is home to the Morehead State Eagles baseball team of the NCAA Division I Ohio Valley Conference. It is named for former Morehead State baseball coach John "Sonny" Allen. Opened in 1973, the venue has a capacity of 1,200 spectators.[1]
Naming
The venue is named for John "Sonny" Allen, who coached the Morehead State baseball program in 1954–1959, 1966, and 1969–1975, a total of 14 seasons.[2] Allen's career record was 226–137, and the program won conference championships in 1956, 1969, and 1973 under him. Allen also played basketball and served as the university's assistant athletic director.[1]
Features
Allen Field has an irregular layout, with the right field fence standing far closer to home plate than does the left field fence.[3] As a result, the right field fence has been built much taller than the left field fence in an attempt to balance the irregular dimensions.[1][4]
The field lies next to Jayne Stadium, the university's football venue.[5]
Renovations
In 1998, stadium lighting was installed, thanks to a donation from baseball alumnus Willie Blair, who pitched in Major League Baseball.[6] In 2004, the seating areas, locker rooms, and coaches' offices were improved. In 2005, the playing surface was renovated.[7]
