Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, one of the finest facilities in the country, begins its 10th season of operation in
2007. Since that first game in 1998 against Kentucky, PJCS has provided Cardinal fans with plenty of excitement
and enthusiasm. Home games in PJCS have been written about time and time again, and its been proven that
something special happens in the Ville when the lights come on at PJCS. From Henry Miller’s 25-yard run in
overtime to defeat fourth-ranked Florida State to Louisville’s 31-7 win over Miami, and the Cardinals’ 44-34 win
over third-ranked West Virginia last season, the mystique of a game in PJCS is legendary. The Cardinals currently
own the nation’s second-longest home-winning streak in the country at 18.
