Trusler Sports Complex
Turnbull Field
The Trusler Sports Complex was completed in 1992 thanks to the generosity of
the Trusler Foundation. Established in 1957 by Harold and Irene Trusler, the
Trusler Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life in Emporia and
surrounding areas. After great success in the agriculture business, as heads of
the Trusler-Cook Grain Company, the Truslers wished to share their good fortune
with the community of Emporia. The Trusler Sports Complex is one of the many
projects made possible by the Trusler Foundation.
Turnbull Field, where the Emporia State Softball team plays their home games,
is named in honor of J. Michael Turnbull, president and trustee of the Trusler
Foundation. Glennen Field, where the Hornets play their home baseball games, was
named in honor of Robert E. Glennen. Dr.Glennen was the thirteenth president of
Emporia State University and held the position from 1985 to 1997. Cannon Field
is named in honor of Joe Cannon, a lifelong Emporian who provided the lead gift
of land that has become Trusler Sports Complex. Thomas Field is named in honor
of Tom D. Thomas, treasurer and trustee of the Trusler Foundation.
Starting in December of 2005, renovations began to improve the Trusler Sports
Complex. One of the additions is a new clubhouse overlooking both of the
Baseball and Softball teams’ home fields. Named after major project
contributors, Chuck and Doris Hanna, the new Hanna Clubhouse includes a viewing
deck and concession stands for fans as well as new lockerrooms, facilities and
coaches offices.
