ABOUT THE PATRIOTIC GAME
The annual Patriotic Game at Jim Patterson Stadium is one of the most popular events each year for Louisville fans and is a way for the Cardinals baseball program to salute all of the men and women who serve to protect the freedom of our great nation. For this year’s Patriotic Game, members of a local color guard will present the colors for the pregame national anthem, while the ceremonial first pitch will be delivered by representative of the military. Once again this season, the Louisville players and coaches will wear red, white and blue themed uniforms for the annual Patriotic Game. Admission is free for all three games of the top 20 series.
