The University of Louisville revealed tentative plans for an expansion of Papa John's Stadium. The stadium, opened in 1998, currently seats 42,000. The expansion would increase the capacity to 63,600 seats by lengthening the lower deck, adding a second deck to the East Stands, and building 45 new luxury suites. The proposed expansion would also include the addition of 2400 club seats. Cardinal Stadium has chairback seating throughout, a rarity in college football stadiums. The plans are still being investigated to determine the feasibility of filling the new seats. The expanded stadium could be ready for the 2009 season should plans go forward.
