It’s been rumored for awhile. But tonight, Athletics Trustee and major Louisville Athletics supporter Jonathan Blue said that Tom Jurich has announced the expansion of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium at tonight’s 50-yard line dinner for VIPs.

Blue reports that the expansion is a $55 Million Project and will feature Field Level Suites, Club Facilities and much more. Others have since tweeted the news from the dinner and we’ve even managed a photo off the screen. Our only question is: Where does the Johnny Unitas statue fit into these plans?

We can’t wait to see the renderings and hear from Tom on the plans.

And it appears that @AlexWDavis managed a cell phone picture off the screen at dinner tonight.

10:10 pm. Just received word from UofL that Tom Jurich will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the expansion.
