The U of L Football Program and its fans have the privilege of spending more than a handful of autumn Saturday’s competing and cheering in $63 million Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

The opening of the state-of-the-art facility in September of 1998 concluded a decade’s worth of private fund-raising and commitment to the dream of giving Louisville an on-campus football stadium which is second to none in the nation. Cont – Papa John’s Stadium Official Site

Triple Crown – Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs Aerial View

Virtual Bird's Eye — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:31:43 +0000

In pre-automobile 1875, the entire United States was “horse country.” But the rolling hills and ample bluegrass of Kentucky certainly presented an ideal venue to raise and race horses, as evidenced by the nascent breeding industry in the Commonwealth’s countryside and four racetracks operating in the city of Louisville before the turn of the century.

Little did Col. M. Lewis Clark, grandson of William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame, know that his new racetrack in the city’s South End with its inaugural Kentucky Derby would become a national landmark with a world-renowned sporting event that would one day eclipse the fame of the Epsom Derby after which it was fashioned. – Official Site
