They also had the opportunity to host the 2009 NCAA Mideast Regional and the inaugural 2012 MIAA Tournament. Nicolay Field is named in honor of Bud and Betty Nicolay, whose generous contributions helped build the estimated $1 million project. The stadium ground-breaking ceremony took place in September 2007 and special guest speaker Ernie Harwell, Hall of Fame baseball broadcaster with the Detroit Tigers, delivered the Bud and Betty Nicolay keynote address about what a great thing was being done for future generations of baseball players at Adrian College. The Bulldogs had been playing baseball at Riverside Park in Adrian for nearly 60 years before the construction of Nicolay Field. Bud Nicolay is the retired president of Kar Nut Products Company, Inc. The company was started in the 1930’s when its founders roasted peanuts for the fans at Tiger Stadium in downtown Detroit. In 1971, Bud began his long service as a member of the Adrian College Board of Trustees, representing the Detroit Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. In 1980, Bud was elected as a Trustee-AtLarge, and he continues to serve with distinction on the board today. In 1991, Bud was awarded an honorary doctorate in recognition of his steadfast support, and he continues to be actively engaged in President Dr. Jeffrey Docking the life of the College. presents the Nicolay’s with a plaque Nicolay Field has state-of-the-art amenities in honor of their service to Adrian including a field completely covered in field turf College by ProGrass, an inning-by-inning scoreboard, an underground drainage system, professional baseball caliber dugouts, bullpens and batting cages.
