The University of Louisville announced they bought the cabooses that reside at Cardinal Stadium Aug. 14.
U of L will ultimately pay $1.5 million to Cabooses Express to keep the cabooses. The deal was broken down so the University of Louisville Athletic Association is paying $660,000 initially, then $140,000 for the next six years.
U of L Athletic Director Vince Tyra said it was never the universities intention to lose the cabooses. “We wanted more control and risk management in place,” said Tyra.
U of L officially assumed control of the cabooses on Aug.
