From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Papa John's Cardinal Stadium is a football stadium located in Louisville, Kentucky, USA and serves as the home of the University of Louisville football program. It opened in 1998, making it the next-to-last football stadium in NCAA Division I-A (now Division I FBS) to open in the 20th century, with SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium being the last. The official seating capacity in the horseshoe-shaped facility is 42,000.
A unique aspect of the facility is that there are no bleachers — every seat is a chairback seat. This particular feature is fairly common in European soccer stadiums and the NFL, but is very rare in college football.
