Braving the front lines at the KFC Yum! Center

Never thought the Observer would see a day when attending a University of Louisville basketball game would be risky behavior. Finally getting away from the friendly confines of home, making it down to the KFC Yum! Center on Sunday.

Precarious behavior in his age group. But, boy, is he ever cautious, avoiding human contact like the plague it is these days.

The 22,000-seat arena is more like an echo chamber with an estimated 3,000 fans allowed into game because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The quiet atmosphere more reminiscent of a hushed crowd of golf fans than a gathering of diehard basketball fanatics.
