    We went on a college visit for my son and walked away very impressed. The visit schedule ran on…read moretime, the presentation was informative and the meal was very good. EKU was my favorite college we've visited so far, with enrollment being between 10-11,000 it's a good blend of a large college with a smaller college feel. Time will tell which college he picks and we still have some visits left but right now I would be comfortable if he decided to become a Colonel.

    Eastern Kentucky University Campus…read more Living in Eastern Kentucky for 10 years I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time at several college campuses. One was Eastern Kentucky University. When I visit family and friends in Richmond Kentucky I always spend time on campus. I'm familiar with the buildings and I have my favorite places to photograph. The last time I visited I was with my daughter. We were there on a beautiful day. Flowers and trees were in bloom. The campus was clean and the buildings have not been neglected. I love to visit the Statue of Daniel Boone. We rubbed his toe for good luck. Anyone that knows the school knows that's a traditional thing to do. If you like to travel visiting historic old school campuses you will enjoy Eastern Kentucky University. Look up the history before you go. If it wasn't for this University the City of Richmond would be very impoverished. In Kentucky college towns are the best place to live. That's my opinion. I hope you enjoy my photos.

    EKU Alumni Coliseum…read more I've spent many a happy hour inside the Eastern Kentucky University Alumni Coliseum! I return to visit as often as I am able. I always call it the arena. Starting in 1968 I saw music concerts that are historic now. In the early 70's I saw the Temptations, The Spinners, Earth Wind and Fire, and more. I can't remember all the shows now. I've tried to find a list of the shows at the EKU Coliseum but haven't located a list yet. I hope they have historical information. I attended other shows I'm sure and probably a basketball game. I'm not much of a basketball fan. I spent a lot of time swimming in the pool. Since my friends and family still live in the area I visit when I go to Richmond. I'm giving it Five Stars because I've never been disappointed. I hope other people can have the happy memories after their time spent at the Alumni Coliseum. If you live nearby like I did you know about the activities offered in this beautiful old venue. A little history: Built in 1963, the Paul S. McBrayer Arena located inside Alumni Coliseum, is capable of seating around 6,500 people in both chair-back seats and on wooden benches (8,000 for concerts) arranged in a horseshoe shape, facing a wall at the right side of the arena where staging is usually set up for events. The arena's ceiling is made completely of wooden beams and is believed to be the largest of its kind in existence. It was named for the former EKU Men's Basketball Coach Paul McBrayer who compiled a record of 219-144.

    My review of Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) is focused on their athletic amenities. I visited…read moreEKU to attend the State Track Meet for Special Olympics of Kentucky and was mostly pleased with what they offer. It's a nice looking campus and features a number of older buildings mixed with some newer ones. There's also plenty of green space. EKU Athletics features the Roy Kidd Football Stadium as well as outdoor track facilities; softball and baseball fields; an indoor basketball arena; and a natatorium. Although EKU offers all these options, most of their facilities are outdated/worndown and arena-style seating is limited (example: there was only about 10 rows of bleacher-style seating at the track field). Still, EKU is a good option for sporting events!
