New Football Field Design for Louisville

The University of Louisville is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in its football program with the installation of a brand new FieldTurf surface at L&N Stadium. This much-anticipated update has been in the works for some time, and will feature a strong sense of history and tradition infused into the look of the field and its markings.

Replacing the playing surface at L&N Stadium is no small feat, as the Cardinals haven't had a new field since 2013. The new design is set to feature the retro "Heisman Bird" at midfield and traditional varsity lettering in the endzones. This nod to the university's rich football history is in the same vein as the 2019 basketball court redesign, which also featured the "Dunking Bird."

The process of replacing the playing surface began on April 24th, with completion expected by early June. The new FieldTurf surface will feature the Vertex CORE system, which is designed using FieldTurf's heavyweight 3-layer infill technology. This advanced system has been proven to have a significantly lower incidence of injuries, optimizing performance and safety for student-athletes. The system is also equipped with two legendary FieldTurf fibers, the Classic HD slit-film fiber and the CORE monofilament super fiber, which delivers leading agility, durability, and aesthetics.

In addition to the new FieldTurf surface, the university has made the decision to give the old field away to season ticket members who have selected that option as part of their benefits for next season. This is just another example of how the university is putting its fans first and showing its appreciation for their unwavering support.

This new FieldTurf surface is much more than just an update to the stadium's aesthetics. It represents a new era for Louisville Football, one that honors its rich history while setting the stage for the program's future success.
