It's CARDINAL FOOTBALL Time It’s CARDINAL FOOTBALL Time !!! September 2015 A FORCE to Reckon With in the ACC The Cardinals begin their second year in the ACC with a challenging schedule that is sure to bring Volume 5, Issue 6 out the crowds. Most fans will be curious to see the new players that make up the 2015 team, and watch them in action. The Cardinals team looks different this year. 10 U of L players were a part of the NFL’s spring draft this year including DeVante Parker, Gerod Holliman, and Lorenzo Mauldin. In total, Louisville has been seeking to replace 24 upperclassmen on the squad as they enter the 2015 season. The mix of new talent and veteran players is sure to give fans a thrill and shake up the ACC schools on the roster. A New Fan Experience Fans also have some new things to look forward to at Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium this year. New and improved services are available and more attention to a FANtastic experience at Cardinal home games is the priority. Wheelchair assistance personnel are available for those needing extra care in getting to their seats. Fans can also call 502-852-0083 for assistance in leaving their seats as well. Another new feature is the ability for fans to text their concerns to PJCS staff. Fans that want to re- port unruly fan behavior or any other issue without leaving their seat can text "VILLE" with the issue and location to 69050. A stadium staff member will respond that the text message has been re- ceived and will work to ensure the issue is being attended to. Another improvement is the installation of a Distributed Antenna System that is being mounted above the Howard Schnellenberger Complex to provide better cellular coverage (through Verizon). This in addition to the new “Lactation Locations” for nursing mothers, new LED TV displays on the con- course, expanded customer relations booths, and shuttle services being provided this year. Im- proved custodial services from Physical Plant custodial services, and a more attentive staff who take pride in being a part of the Cardinal experience also makes a tremendous impact on the fans. Faster response times, more efficiently placed supply stations, and better trained staff are only part of the improvements made by Physical Plant custodial services. These services show a renewed focus on the fans and their Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium experience. Constructing Excellence The south end of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium is under construction with the Thornton's Aca- demic Center of Excellence being built under the Custodial Services Division Norton Healthcare Terrace. While much of the - interior of the south end will be fenced off for construction purposes, fans will see minimal changes to the previous game-day setup. This state-of-the-art facility will house academic oper- ations and provide a central location for all stu- dent-athletes and academic staff, further assist- ing UofL student-athletes to excel in the class- room. The 40,000-square-foot center will feature tutorial areas, a high-performance training table to feed the student-athletes, computer laboratories, and office and classroom space that will serve over 750 student-athletes across the Cardinals' 23 sports on a daily basis. Completion of this construc- tion is targeted for May 2016. At the North end zone, further expansion of the sta- dium is planned to increase the seating by 10,000 seats bringing the total capacity to 65,000. New scoreboards are to be installed as well as 1,000 club seats, 65 premium loge level boxes, and 10 field level suites. The project will also include major ren- ovation to the Schnellenberger Complex, improving their training facilities and the services available to the athletes. The goal is to be completed with the Published by the Physicalexpansion Plant Department before the season opener against Notre Dame in 2019.

  • Register Early $565 Per Couple
    Register Early $565 Per Couple Conference Speakers Mark and Katharyn Richt Mark Richt currently serves as a studio analyst for the newly launched ACC Network. Prior to his time with ACC Network/ESPN, Richt served as head football coach at the University of Miami and the University of Georgia. Richt was named the University of Miami’s 24th head football coach on Dec. 4, 2015. His hiring provided immediate dividends as the Hurricanes posted a 9-4 record in his first season in Coral Gables. Miami then defeated West Virginia, 31-14, in the Russell Athletic Bowl for the program’s first bowl victory in 10 years. The Hurricanes were ranked No. 20 in the final Associated Press poll and No. 23 in the final Amway Coaches Poll – the program’s first season-ending rankings since 2009. Miami had 10 players earned ACSMA All-ACC honors in 2016, while quarterback Brad Kaaya became Miami’s all-time passing yards leader. Freshman wide receiver Ahmmon Richards broke the 31-year-old freshman receiving record at Miami originally set by Michael Irvin, while sophomore running back Mark Walton became the 11th 1,000-yard rusher in program history. Six Hurricanes were selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. Nine Hurricanes were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft, the most for Miami since 2006, including first-round pick David Njoku to the Cleveland Browns. Richt has had 99 of his players drafted as a head coach, including 14 first-round picks. Richt, born in Omaha, Neb., and raised in Boca Raton, Fla., returned to his alma mater after leading the University of Georgia football program for 15 years.

  • Even 0-6 Start Can't Mar Fact That FAU's New Stadium Is an Absolute Gem by DAVE GEORGE
    Commentary: Even 0-6 start can't mar fact that FAU's new stadium is an absolute gem By DAVE GEORGE Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Updated: 6:50 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011 Posted: 8:56 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011 It's finally real, not just some figment of Howard Schnellenberger's astounding imagination, and it rocks. Florida Atlantic's new football stadium, sized just right at 30,000 seats, debuted Saturday afternoon with thousands of students stomping their feet on the aluminum stands in celebration of all the regularly-scheduled tailgate parties that are coming to their campus neighborhood. Altogether, this long-awaited opening was a certified hoot, regardless of another demoralizing loss for the 0-6 Owls, and in spite of the fact that hundreds of customers weren't in their seats by the 4 p.m. kickoff with Western Kentucky because of exasperating clogs at the ticket booths and will-call lines. "Those are good problems to have," FAU Athletic Director Craig Angelos said. "We've never had this many people at an event in Florida Atlantic's history of 50 years. That means a lot of people were interested in coming to see our product. Eventually we got them in by the second quarter and it's all good now." Great news, too, for any who missed this historic opening day and want to catch next Saturday's FAU home game with Middle Tennessee. The stadium promotional staff still has bells and whistles in reserve that were not experienced by the opening-day crowd of 29,103.

The fact it will be announced in the nation’s media center makes it even more exciting. We are thrilled with our upcoming opportunity.” “The Fiesta Bowl is honored to be involved with the Eddie Robinson Award,” Fiesta Bowl chairman Duane Woods said. “This move will allow the most prestigious national coaching award to reach an even broader audience. We are grateful to the National Football Foundation and the FWAA for their efforts in making this happen.” Coach Robinson’s son, Eddie Jr., is expected to be on hand for the announcement, which will be attended by other coaches, former Grambling players and coaches of the year, Fiesta Bowl, FWAA and NFF officials, as well as specials guests and members of the media.
