Louisville officially kicks off Papa John's Cardinal Stadium expansion project

The University of Louisville Athletics Department is kicking off its 'Coming Full Circle' capital campaign to expand Papa John's Cardinal Stadium and the Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex.

The $55-million project, with funds raised by the campaign, will add 10,000 seats to the configuration of the stadium, creating a unique look in the end zone, and enhance the Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex for the football program with major renovations to the facility.

"I feel it's important to always stay on the cutting edge in everything we do, and it's critical that we do that with our facilities," University Vice President/Director of Athletics Tom Jurich said.
