Still hard to believe for this long time University of Louisville football fan dreamed about UofL having its own stadium. This while having his view partially obscured by a steel post at the old Fairgrounds Stadium.

But here we are again, back at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium for an update on still another expansion. This one a luxurious state-of-the-art, 10,000-seat addition, which will complete the oval. Raising capacity to 65,000 seats, along with growing expectations for the UofL football program.
