The Alley at Cardinal Stadium

The alley at cardinal stadium is a tailgate/bar area that opened up starting with the 2021 university of Louisville football season. The entrance sits across the street from the main entrance area of Uofl home football stadium cardinal stadium. The entrance is actually maintained and monitored by event security. I didn't make it to the season opener against eku for the 2021 season but for the second game we played central Florida on a Friday night (and won!) so before I entered the stadium I decided to check this new experience out. Event security wands and checks you before entering. Upon entering there is a large spacious area for food trucks, beer trucks and a huge turf area full of corn hole boards. There was a stage with a live band playing and they had an outdoor bar that was packed to the gills so I didn't get a great look. They have a nice inside area that was Rsvp only. The vibe and atmosphere here was great. Plenty of fun tailgate activities. Cool food trucks for pizza or bbq and plenty of places to buy beer or harder alcohol beverages. In the very back is a patrolled bathroom that is a roll of port o pots protected behind a wooden fence for extra privacy. Everything here was well down. Very visually pleasing and cool cards decor. I think the alley is going to be immensely popular and foresee it becoming a long standing fun pre game tradition for Uofl football games. I look forward to what the future holds for the alley. And as always.....Go Cards!

Cool spot located right across feom cardinal stadium. It features overpriced food trucks and over priced beer. It has a band that plays and has some cornhole boards to play. It gets really crowded and not easy ti move around but it's a cool spot to check out still

A really cool space. I attended a fund raiser there this past week and it was a nice event space. The outdoors is really cool with lots of nice outdoor seating a small stage and space for games. This is primarily a tailgating space, I think but obviously available for events. It has a big kitchen if that is needed for your event. There were not staff there but we had free run of the space. It can be an open air space inside weather permitting. Parking is available across the street in the Cardinal Football Stadium. If you are a U of L fan would be a great space for any casual event, and I am assuming they rent to outsiders. We were a U of L group. Check it out for tailgating.

Great place to hang out before a game. Prices very reasonable and lots of food options.

Every vendor is rude and incompetent, the property staff as well... Not worth it despite location. Would not let me use the bathroom. They recommended I pee in the street and deal with the consequences.

Great place to tailgate and make it easy to get a drink! Highly recommend
