LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Louisville will return to full capacity this fall in Cardinal Stadium, where the Cards will play seven home football games. In a statement to Spectrum News 1, UofL Athletics said advancements in state and national health guidelines will allow a return to full capacity, including popular pregame tailgating in accompanying parking lots, when UofL opens the home portion of its 2021 schedule against Eastern Kentucky on September 11.

“This is the news our fans have been waiting for,” said Vince Tyra, UofL Vice President/Director of Athletics. “We are back, my friends. We couldn’t be more excited to fill our house and welcome Card Nation back home. Get your tickets. Plan your tailgate. Bring your voice. Our football team and staff are so excited to see you. So am I. Let’s bring our Louisville Football life back to Floyd Street.”

Season tickets for UofL home games, which includes games against national power Clemson and intrastate rival UK, are currently on sale. Season ticket packages start at just $140.

A special football CardsPass will also be available this season, providing a unique seat location for each game while ensuring various viewpoints and experiences for games with the ability to sit with friends who also purchase. That flexible ticket option starts at $199 and provides access to all home games.

Fans may work together with a personal ticketing consultant to compare and purchase available seat locations by texting (502) 852-5151 or emailing tickets@gocards.com. Fans also have the option to complete a season ticket interest form here.

Cards fans who purchase season tickets have the opportunity to utilize extended, interest-free payment plan options as well. Additional stadium gates constructed in Cardinal Stadium last year are meant to aid crowds of fans with their ease of entry into the stadium.
