It's news that had been hinted at for what seems like ages now, but on Thursday night, Tom Jurich officially acknowledged that U of L plans to expand Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
The Cardinal athletic director made the announcement at the annual 50-Yard-Line Dinner.
Tom Jurich just announced the expansion of Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium. Incredible changes. #CloseTheBowl. Wow.

Stadium will include state of the art field level suites, improved fan clubs facilities, and much more. $55m project.

No details yet on the timeline for this project (or if we'll also be getting Card Chronicle Bird Masks for all fans and a giant Howard Schnellenberger pipe blowing smoke for the team to run through), but this is certainly an exciting first step.
