Ohio State literally did the exact same thing. Whether UC was making major conference money or not... the marketing for the school. the people at the facility during down times, the boom to the local business during those time, the parking revenue, the revenue from the gate, the concessions revenue, and the partnership with a family that has been one of the universities biggest benefactors all made the deal worth it whether UC was in a better league or not.

I am a season ticket holder for LouCity FC, and UofL Soccer. When Jurich was at UofL he wanted no part of helping Louisville City FC.

"The recent change in leadership in the University of Louisville athletic department opened the door for a partnership with Louisville City, one both sides regard as beneficial.

Louisville athletic director Vince Tyra is also a part-owner of Louisville City, and the university's facility discussions with Louisville City began around the time of Tyra's permanent hire in March"

But... But... this can't be.

EVERYONE on this board said I was wrong when I said this.

If you read the article, it was noted that they only wanted to use Papa John's or Lynn Field for International Friendly's or US Open Cup games, which require a large dimension field.

If LCFC went to Louisville with the same amount of cash that FCC went to UC with, I'd be surprised if they said no.

Also, Lynn Stadium is grass, they were concerned about the health of the field, not so much an issue on turf.

Just own it, dude.

I was right.

You...you do realize that his post goes on to explain that the new Louisville AD is open to a partnership...right?
