Louisville Cardinals at Cardinal Stadium
The Louisville Cardinals college football team is the pride of the University of Louisville. The Atlantic Coast Conference Atlantic Division member has earned nine conference title wins, including being named co-champs of the ACC in 2016, and has appeared in 22 bowl games, most recently the 2017 TaxSlayer Bowl. The Cardinals' head coach is Scott Satterfield, who is new to the team as of the 2019 season after joining them from Appalachian State. Louisville plays at Cardinal Stadium, a 60,000-seat venue located on the University of Louisville campus that received some major renovations in recent years.
Louisville Cardinals Football History
The University of Louisville fielded a football team for the first time in 1912. The Cardinals were independent until joining the Missouri Valley Conference from 1963 to 1974. Louisville also spent time in the Big East between 2005 and 2012 and, since 2014, has been in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Louisville saw a resurgence in success and popularity after World War II thanks to Frank Camp, who was head coach from 1946 to 1968. Under his watch, the Cardinals earned their first bowl win, in the 1958 Sun Bowl against the Drake Bulldogs. Several of the team's greatest athletes also played during Camp's tenure, including speed-minded offensive catalyst Lenny Lyles and future NFL great Johnny Unitas. From 1951 to 1954, Unitas racked up 3,139 yards and 27 touchdown passes as the Cardinals' quarterback. Decades later, head coach Howard Schnellenberger also steered Louisville to a renaissance between 1985 and 1994, including a victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 1991 Fiesta Bowl.
Louisville has fielded dozens of All-American players and also has a Heisman Trophy winner, as quarterback Lamar Jackson nabbed the coveted honor during the team's successful 2016 season. The Cardinals' major rival is the in-state Kentucky Wildcats. Since 1994, the two teams have met every year, with the winner of the game taking home the Governor's Cup. In years past, Louisville also had fierce rivalries with the Memphis Tigers and the Cincinnati Wildcats. Until 2013, the Cardinals squared off against the latter team in a yearly contest with the victor receiving a trophy known as the Keg of Nails.
What can I say! I loved my seats, even with the sun beaming on us, the excitement couldnt beruined! This was my first time at the stadium to watch a game and I'm glad I didbthe impulse buy! Can't wait to catch my next game. The stadium staff was amazing!
Every time I buy tix on here and go to papa johns cardinal stadium, I have a BALL!
U of L football is always fun. These seats where in the open so when the sun was shining it was a beautiful day. If the temp would been a little warmer it would hav been a perfect football game. Except for the outcome but you can't win them all.
Had a great time at the game. The UPS flight deck seats are up up up there but I would much rather be in the nose bleed section than pay 4+ times more per seat.
A great college atmosphere! The stadium is very nice on an NFL caliber level with great views of Churchill Downs and Downtown Louisville. The tailgating was also fun along with courtious fans.
Great football game, exciting finish, good weather
Exciting game especially the last defensive series for the cards.
The game was awsome all the way through to the last play.
We stayed at a Holiday Inn within walking distance to the stadium.Nice friendly people everywhere we went.Great Stadium to see a game.
Nice game but it's always nice when your team blows out the other!
We had a good time at the game can't wait to see more sports in the Louisville area.
Football game was great. Venue great. The people at the Will Call window made me miss nearly the entire 1st quarter. I order my tickets no problem, but I chose to pick them up at will call. I got to the window and they couldn't find my tickets. I stood there with my two sons in a sea of hundreds of people while the workers in the office fumbled around trying to learn the alphabet. I was very disappointed. My sons (who are 6 and 8) had to stand there, between two,huge lines of people, while the kickoff, the crowd and the excitement they were missing because the employees in will call could not find the tickets that I had ordered nearly a week ahead of time. Thanks will call for being inept!
The weather was great ! The Stadium is wonderful !
We got to the football game early to do some tailgating. There was 13 of us. We had a blast. The seats we at the top of the stadium, but the view wasn't bad at all. We will be going back soon.
We will get better, we will win more games with Strong than we did w/ Patrino and especially Kragthorpe.
The crowd was thrilled. The game was intense. The weather was perfect. You couldn't ask for a better night to enjoy some pigskin action in the Derby City. Go Bearcats!
Very poor seats for the price, better seats unsold,
The game was awesome and seats were great. Definitely would go to one of the events again.
We flew froom D.C. to Louisville to watch the game. UL Cardinals lost the game, but it was fun to watch my alma mater. When I booked our tickets the only seats open were the nose bleed seats. When we went to the game only half the stadium was filled. Maybe because the game was right after Thanksgiving and the weather was super cold, folks did not come out to watch it.
Great Rutgers Football game! Nice Venue. Coach and team addressed Rutgers fans after the game and sang Rutgers Theme song with the fans.
