EKU, aka the Colonels, is a frequent playoff team that plays in a place that resembles (at least on TV) a slightly nicer version of SDSU's former stadium. I think it's under renovation or has recently been renovated.



For that part of the world (on the western edge of one of the poorest regions in the country. 1/4 of the population of the city is under the poverty line, and the median income is about 1/2 of what it is in Fargo) it's not too shabby. Will be interesting to see how the OVC responds for basketball, etc, if they end up leaving. do they try to court the ooey pooey and/or Fort Wayne?

Richmond KY is in the shadow of Lexington, so UK pretty much dominates the local scene.
