L&N Federal Credit Union, a cooperative, financial institution located in Louisville, has inked a naming rights deal with the University of Louisville that renames Cardinal Stadium to L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium on January 30, 2023. A 20-year, $41-million commitment secures the naming rights with the university through 2042. Opened in 1998 and reno- vated in 2010 and 2019, Cardinal Stadium is a 59,823-seat facility located at the corner of Floyd Street and Central Avenue and is home to the UofL football program. The Cardinals completed a $63.3-million dollar expansion of the stadium, which also included a major upgrade to the Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex. In the recent construction, 5,900 seats were added, providing a unique look in the end zone structure and increasing the total capacity to about 60,800. The construction also generated an additional 25,000 square feet of space. The expansion included 800 modern club seats, 68 premium loge level boxes, and 12 exclusive field level suites. The club seats have access to a premier gathering area that provide viewing access to the field. Fans in that area have an exclusive view of the play- ers, as they exit the football complex through a tunnel and run onto the gridiron from a middle of the field level entrance. While the seating areas have drastically improved many of the sightlines, fans also will notice additional amenities that will enhance the game day experience. Two 40-foot by 80-foot LED videoboards were 5 installed in the north end zones and a 24-foot by 92-foot football videoboard was installed in the south end zone. The stadium possesses over 8,000-square feet of ribbon boards throughout the sta- dium, while a total of 344 feet of ribbon boards are mounted on the east and west sides of the stadium. L&N Stadium, which opened in 1998, featured a capacity of 42,000. In 2010, over 10,000 additional chairback seats were added to a second deck on the east side of the stadium in the UPS Flight Deck. The project included 33 new luxury suites on the Stites & Harbison Suite Level and 2,000 premium loge seats were added to the east side. A 60-foot wide Norton’s Terrace was constructed at the top of the south end zone, connecting the east and west sides of the stadium. A part of the previous expansion was the PNC Club, a 20,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed area that stretches from end zone to end zone at the loge level on the east side of the stadium. The temperature-controlled club features a full-service bar, concessions, large-screen televisions, lounge seating and tables. It has more than 1,700 outdoor seats under cover with heaters and fans. In addition to being available during foot- ball games, the PNC Club is used for other community and campus events throughout the year. The newly renovated Angel’s Envy Bour- bon Club highlights the stadium’s west side. The space extends the length of the football field and contains 28 suites. It has served as host to numerous banquets and parties. The stadium’s multi-usage came into play in May of 1999, as the George Strait Coun- try Music Festival invaded L&N Stadium and entertained more than 51,000 concert goers. Kenny Chesney and Sugarland played at L&N Stadium last May. Since 1998, the Cardinals are 119-46 at home and compiled a school record 20-game-home winning streak, which was snapped in 2007. Stadium Facts Stadium Record The Cardinals are 119-46 all-time at home. Seating Capacity Built in 1998, stadium capacity is currently at approximately 59,823, including suites. Playing Field Louisville switched from natural grass to Field Turf for the 2003 season and was replaced in 2014 and 2023. Card March Fans are encouraged to meet the team when the Cardinals arrive for Card March, approxi- mately 2:15 prior to kickoff. The team buses will arrive at Denny Crum Overpass and players will unload and walk down the stairs. The players and coaches will make their way through the crowd behind the marching band and cheerleaders before entering the stadium.
