Press Release from the University of Louisville:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville will return to full capacity this fall in Cardinal Stadium, where the Cardinals will play seven home football games. 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 Sept. 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 ticket packages start at just $140, providing substantial savings over single-game ticket prices.

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 link/sit with friends who also purchase. This flexible ticket option starts at $199 and provides access to all home games.

In addition to its seven-game home schedule, the Cardinals will open their season on Sept. 6 in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game against Ole Miss.
