The University of Louisville formally announced Friday that it will begin a $55 million expansion of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium at the north end zone, adding 10,000 chairback seats to create a capacity of 65,000.

The project also includes a major renovation and expansion of the adjacent Howard Schnellenberger team complex. Towers will extend up on both ends of that building and flank the multideck seating structure, which will be shaped at the top with a sharp triangular look. New video scoreboards will be attached to the tops of both towers.The expansion will include 1,000 club seats, 65 premium loge-level boxes and 10 field-level suites - perhaps the most posh addition of the whole project. The club seats will have access to a VIP gathering area that will provide viewing access to the field. The middle of the field level will feature a special entrance for U of L's team that will be surrounded by fans.

Looking through the pictures I'm impressed. They even have a "recruit lounge".

I really wish someone from Tech had opened an average pizza chain.
