Rainy night at the KFC Yum! Center

Just when University of Louisville men’s basketball fans think they seen everything, the KFC Yum! Center springs a leak. Literally. A steady stream of water was cascading from the ceiling to the floor in front of the free throw line at the south end of the court.

The pride of downtown Louisville, the most popular facility in the community, best known outside of Churchill Downs. The structure that brings people back downtown in good times and bad times, a $238 million-plus development, humbled by a leaking roof. The game delayed by an hour and 18 minutes while crews work desperately on the roof for a quick, albeit temporary, fix.
