UL can expand all they want, the fans will still leave 5k empty seats every game while they continue to drink in the parking lot! Every game is announced a sell out and every game has gaping holes in the stands.

Jurich is actually not the real savior in this ...That would be Bill Olsen who hired Howard Schnellenburger...That SAVED Otis's program...periodI dislike Jurich. However, there is no doubt that Louisville's football program has improved under Jurich's guidance. On the other hand, Barnhart has made some terrible decisions that almost crippled the Kentucky football program.
Absolutely correct, Sincerely, Cliff Hagan, CM Newton, Larry IvyI dislike Jurich. However, there is no doubt that Louisville's football program has improved under Jurich's guidance. On the other hand, Barnhart has made some terrible decisions that almost crippled the Kentucky football program.
Anybody that likes Jurich is equivalent to Jim Jones Guyana tragedy. All you have to do is look or listen to him and it screams phoney. I worry sometimes hoe people can't sniff out bullshitters.
Too bad Levi's Stadium sucks so much. I'd rather watch a game in the Stick than that miserable place.
Blame the reduction in seating where it belongs...ON THE STUDENT SECTION...They are pitiful...Go to an sec road game and you will see what I mean...I have no problem with the temporary loss of seats because when it is time that can be addressed...#ALL IN
Unless I'm mistaken ...the student allotment was cut from 12K to 6500...Let's see if they show up...When the demand for more seats is strong then they will be added...I for one LOVE the way this is going...Yes, it's true that UK students have never been faithful football supporters, but they tend to show up when we're good. If UK would simply keep the student section at 5,000-7,000 and give the rest to season ticket holders, they'd easily sell out when the team is good.
I heard it is a pain to get in and out of there...but that aspect especially in this era looks like a hellva idea
And that is exactly what they did, isn't it? I was checking single game tickets the other day and it looks like best remaining seats are in the former student section.Yes, it's true that UK students have never been faithful football supporters, but they tend to show up when we're good.

jauk11 & WC...Do either of you have season tickets?...As of right now every FOOTBALL fan should be thrilled with the direction this program is headed...Mark Stoops has stated that in 2016 when the new facility along with the stadium renovation that KENTUCKY'S facilities will be as good as any in the country...Seating at this pt in time is immaterial...That can be worried about at a later date when they are necessary...Agreed, does not compute.
Wait a minute, you mean there's not actually a huge waiting list for season tickets like we always hear from their delusional fan base? Or maybe the waiting list is just for the $10 seats.They want to expand their stadium and yet they still have season tickets,available in the lower bowls per the ul website and we are now in August. I'm sure they have plenty of excuses.
Not since the mid 80s. I still try to get down there for a couple or three games each year. In addition to UofL I'm looking at the FL and UT games this year. I've got my Card tickets ordered from UofL and it looks like Mitch has kicked up the price on FL and UT as well. May end up shopping out front for those 2 games.jauk11 & WC...Do either of you have season tickets?...As of right now every FOOTBALL fan should be thrilled with the direction this program is headed...Mark Stoops has stated that in 2016 when the new facility along with the stadium renovation that KENTUCKY'S facilities will be as good as any in the country...Seating at this pt in time is immaterial...That can be worried about at a later date when they are necessary...
LittleBrother attendance figures are BOGUS..they never sell out after all the FREE tickets to UPS.GE.FORD and Homeless..the place is lucky to draw 30,000 drunks..Why expand when you cannot sell out?????They want to expand their stadium and yet they still have season tickets,available in the lower bowls per the ul website and we are now in August.

. I also discovered that Cat fans get a bargain. UL fans pay about $54 per game while UK fans only pay $40 per game for lower bowl seats. In fairness UL does sell many of the upper level seats cheaper than UK so I guess it balances out.
This is the absolute truth. I work for a large Louisville employer, and have many friends & family who work for just about all the rest in town. And every one of us get email blasts during the season about special employee discount ticket offer for UL homegames, maybe $5, sometimes less or given away. It is a running joke, we start email chains about how we all get the same offers - for businesses that all added together have tens of thousands of employees!LittleBrother attendance figures are BOGUS..they never sell out after all the FREE tickets to UPS.GE.FORD and Homeless..
gee....ya think that's maybe because UofL only plays 6 home games this year?
No excuses! Yes you are correct UL has some lower bowl season tickets left. have to love the school web sites these days. As of today they about 215 seats available but only about 80 are in pairs. The rest are single seats. Lower Bowl is pretty much sold out. UL does not even really market these few season tickets since the pairs will sell quickly as single game tickets. By the way UK uses the same type web site and UK has about 650 lower bowl season tickets left. I also discovered that Cat fans get a bargain. UL fans pay about $54 per game while UK fans only pay $40 per game for lower bowl seats. In fairness UL does sell many of the upper level seats cheaper than UK so I guess it balances out.
At some point UL will fill in the lower bowl. Probably a mix of lower seats mid level club seats, a recruiting club type room and some more suites which are sold out. I am thinking about 7500 seats. LIke many schools it is all supply and demand. Big games sell out and the seats are full and many games there are sold empty seats.
Final note is that while UK can count on most SEC schools bringing 5000 or more fans UL has played few schools that travel well until now where some of the ACC schools travel well but not like the SEC.

Not the point of this thread but I continue to be stunned at a renovation which physically removes some 6,000 "good" (i.e., mostly south side) seats from a 67,000 seat stadium. Someone would literally have to set down with engineering drawings and show me why that big a seat loss was "necessary".
Peace
For once, I completely agree with you. Yes, they have already dropped the student allotment and yes, that was a really dumb move by UK to drop capacity (and certainly to drop good seats from the inventory).

oh that has been their policy since day 1 of Papa John opening in 1998. Want basketball tickets, want luxury boxes, you've gotta buy the same if not more for football.Is it UL's policy for you to have lower tickets in the Yum Center you "MUST" purchase season football tickets? If true, they are forcing football down their fans throat.
