You go to many 90,000+ stadiums, even 100,000+ stadiums and you don't feel as far away as you can at Papa Johns stadium in the upper deck.

Maryland's upper deck is atrocious.

I've never been but it doesn't look like a very cool stadium...very odd symmetry.

Shouldn't we all be on the CUSA board?

I think Louisville is quite nice. Spent many fun nights there.

Congrats on getting a bigger stadium.

Frankly, I did not like the 2010 addition from an architecture perspective. I'm not sure what else could have been done, and perhaps the fault is poor planning in 1998. But having the visitor side grandstand significantly bigger and taller than the home side grandstand is not pleasing to the eye.

The original design was symmetrical and very nice, but maybe they did not plan for expansion.

This pointy endzone proposal is franky not very pleasing either. Subjetively, I don't get it. But congrats on spending $55M on your stadium. I'm sure the game day atmosphere will be intense.

They continue to break records for the most ugly people in one place at pjs. Air drop them vitamins and antibiotics. It's a humanitarian crisis

That was for the YUM! Center, which is owned by Jefferson County in a sweetheart deal that enriches UL, but screws the city's taxpayers. I think this project is different and will come from revenues relevant to football.

Might as well get in as much as yer can, Fella!

See that image is just more proof. That's what humans look like in louiseville. Notice the red and black background, the line beard...smh

Antibiotics and vitamins to the ville. For the children

This just makes me sad. I truly believed UC and UofL would always stick together because they were so alike. It will always make me sad when it was time to move there was only 1 spot open to move and not 2. It's too damn bad (for us anyway) that the big 12 doesn't have half a brain and didn't invite UC and UofL with WVU. They would sitting awfully pretty right now.

One dirty city with red and black colors is enough for any conference

PJCS expansion Link

I said this on the UC board, but I think that addition...as pictured...is hideous. It doesn't match the rest of the stadium and that peak instantly reminded me (and apparently others too, judging by comments) of North Texas' stadium.

If you build this as pictured, I will be appalled. (And I may be in the minority, but I rather liked the most recent work on PJ's...)

You know, most of the time I let your bull **** pass, because I think you may be on the slow side. But did you really just reference dirty city? As in Memphis is much better than either Louisville or Cincinnati?

I'd name my first born child Cardinal to have Louisville back in the conference.

Isn't that almost like being the tallest midget?

2 football stadiums in the entire state?*

PS. Great off-topic thread....oh wait...the ACC Troll didn't even label thread as off-topic.

I've been PJ stadium a couple of times and it's a good venue. This will make it better.

The old stadium sucked but Louisville has killed it the last 10 years. As a Memphis fan it hurts, but that's reality. UL earned it. I'm going to go drink some coffee.

Yep, Louisville as a city blows but it's getting better.

For UC guys, I love Nippert. Great old school venue. Oh, 41-14 for Beartcats#100

Better pics

Still hideous.
