Roy Kidd Stadium (at Tom Samuels Field) delivers an on-campus football setting where maroon-and-white pride and a championship-built tradition come together every fall. Whether you’ve followed EKU for years or you’re planning your first trip to Richmond, Eastern Kentucky Colonels tickets put you inside the action from kickoff to the final whistle.
This page covers everything you need — from choosing the right seats at Roy Kidd Stadium to knowing what to expect when you arrive on game day.
Eastern Kentucky football is one of the defining programs of FCS history. Established in 1909, the Eastern Kentucky Colonels have captured two NCAA Division I-AA national championships (1979, 1982) and reached four consecutive Division I-AA national title games in the early 1980s. That era is inseparable from legendary head coach Roy Kidd (1964–2002), a College Football Hall of Fame member whose impact still shapes the program. EKU’s legacy also includes standout Colonels who went on to NFL success, including Danny Copeland, Aaron Jones, Larry Brown, and Jimmy Smith.
On Saturdays in Richmond, the Colonels play at Roy Kidd Stadium (at Tom Samuels Field) on EKU’s campus. Opened in 1969 with an approximate capacity of 20,000, the stadium is named in honor of Coach Kidd and features an artificial turf playing surface. The atmosphere fits what college football does best: an on-campus crowd, energized by students and alumni, with the EKU marching band and spirit squads helping set the tone.
EKU currently competes in the United Athletic Conference (UAC) after a long history in the Ohio Valley Conference, where the Colonels won 21 OVC football titles—one of the most prolific totals in league history. Rivalry matchups that can drive demand include Western Kentucky, Morehead State, Murray State, and Jacksonville State. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Eastern Kentucky Colonels tickets early is the smartest move.
