Can’t-miss games
If you’re a true Cards fan, then you know every game is a can’t-miss game. But these games are next level.
- September 21 vs. Georgia Tech | Home | Louisville’s season could really hinge on the first ACC game of the year.
- September 28 at Notre Dame | Away | Last season, Louisville’s biggest win of the year came at home against the Notre Dame. Can they upend the Irish on the road this time?

Know before you go
Have tickets to watch the Cardinals in person? Before you put on that Cardinal red, there are a couple need-to-knows about L&N Stadium.
- Parking | Parking is always stressful, especially with 50,000 other fans involved.
- Clear bag policy | You can’t just bring any bag to the game.
- Concessions | Take a look at the full menu of options, because nobody likes a hungry fan.
Players to root for
Tyler Shough takes the reins of Jeff Brohm’s offense as quarterback this year. A redshirt senior, he is in his seventh college season after three years at both Oregon and Texas Tech.
Louisville has a familiar face leading the defense, with Ashton Gillotte back for a fourth season on the line. His 11 sacks last year were tied for the ninth-most in the country.
Where to watch
Here are spots where you’re sure to be surrounded by fellow Cards fans:
- The Granville Pub: An Old Louisville staple, this bar is always filled with Cardinal fans.
- Ten20 Brewery: With Saturday happy hour specials, including beer, wings, and pizza, this brewery will be a fave spot for football fanatics.
