History

Since the late 1940s, the Lipscomb baseball team played at a field next to Belmont Boulevard, an area close to Ken Dugan Field's modern location. This field was known as Onion Dell until 1984, when it was dedicated as Ken Dugan Field. When the baseball program moved nearby to a new, $1-million facility in 1991, the name was kept. On March 17, 2005, the facility was rechristened Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium. [2]

In 2005, as part of the venue's renaming, stadium lighting was installed. In 2007, $50,000 in renovations added a warning track and an artificial turf halo around home plate. [2]

Dugan Field hosted the Atlantic Sun baseball tournament in 2010, 2011, and 2016. [5] [6]

The Nashville Outlaws of the Prospect League played at Ken Dugan Field in 2011, after spending their inaugural 2010 season at Vanderbilt University's Hawkins Field. [4]
