Papa
John's Cardinal
Stadium
Louisville, KY
What’s more fun on a Saturday
afternoon in the fall than sitting back, watching football and
splitting a pizza with your friends? Not much. If you agree, then
Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium is for you. The University of Louisville
Cardinals play their home games in front of perhaps the most
comfortable fans in the nation. All of Cardinal Stadium’s 42,000
seats are of the chairback variety. No other on campus stadium
can make this claim. Cardinal Stadium also features some of the
most modern press boxes in college football.

Louisville’s home stadium has the ability to expand to 80,000 seats as
well as featuring a state of the art training facility. One of
the most impressive features at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium is the
ability to treat injuries. The University of Louisville’s
partnership with Jewish Hospital and the Frazier Rehab Center provide
visitors the highest level of care possible with a full trauma center
and three fully staffed first aid stations. Outstanding features
such as this make Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium one of the very finest
in the nation. It is also the only college football stadium that has
sold the naming rights. In November 2006 the Louisville Athletic
Association Board of Directors approved a $65 million expansion that
will increase the capacity of Cardinal Stadium to 63,600. This
expansion, to be completed by the 2009 season, will include 2,500
luxury seats and 45 luxury suites on the east side. The current
grandstand will be extended to the ends of the Howard Schnellenberger
Football Complex and an upper deck will be added to the east
grandstand. In order to pay for this expansion, the school will raise
$30 million in private donations and issue bonds of $35 million.
