The $63-million project will enclose the north end zone.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It's difficult to pass Papa John's Cardinal Stadium on Floyd Street and not at least glance at the ongoing construction.
University of Louisville Vice President and Director of Athletics Tom Jurich and senior associate athletics director for development Mark Jurich met with the media on Thursday to provide an update on the stadium's expansion process, the “Coming Full Circle” campaign.
The $63-million project will enclose the north end zone and be completed by the opening game of the 2018 campaign. It consists of 10,000 new seats, with 1,000 club seats, 70 premium boxes, and 12 exclusive field level suites.
These premium seats will have access to two premier gathering areas; the Pepsi Club, which will provide viewing access to the field, and another premium club, which will be similar to AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. This club will provide a unique fan perspective that will allow fans the opportunity to be close to the action and be a part of the excitement as the players take the field.
Originally completed in 1998, Papa John's Cardinal Stadium had an original capacity of 42,000 and was expanded five years ago to its present seating of 55,000. The current construction will expand the stadium to approximately 65,000.
