23,187 celebrate football at Louisville spring game

A balmy 70 degrees. A perfect night at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium for the University of Louisville spring football game and everything that goes with it.

The die-hard tail gaters showing up early to claim prime spots at the front of the Green Lot, the area closest to the stadium. Grills glowing, beer flowing, one more chance to celebrate, an occasion for serious football people and party lovers before the long hot summer, September six months away. Some 23,187 fans happy to be together again, enjoying the UofL camraderie.

Lots of children, too, making bee lines to the carnival rides, the tilt-a-whirl, the merry-go-rounds, the bumper cars, and the whack-a-mole.
