"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.

People didn't say you were wrong. You admitted you had know idea about that whole situation, then people chimed in and said you can't compare apples to oranges anyway so it's irrelevant what happened between UL and Louisville FC.

Help me understand what your gripe is exactly? Is it seriously the notches in the horseshoe that got taken out of Nippert? Does that really upset you that much?
Because out of all the changes that FCC has made to Nippert, that is the only one I can think of that somebody might take exception to. All the other changes have enhanced Nippert, haven't they?

1 negative vs a dozen positives. And when FCC is gone it's not like UC can't put seats back where those notches are.

It's already been proven that your theory about how a "big time" university wouldn't accommodate an upstart soccer team is wrong. I'm just trying to understand why you are so passionate about this when most people really don't feel so strongly one way or the other about our beautiful stadium being shared with more people than it otherwise wouldn't be.
